Blue Mounds, Wisc. — Fertilizer and agronomy consulting company Midwestern BioAg Inc. has announced plans to build a 17,000-square-foot fertilizer blending and distribution facility in Milledgeville, Ill. The plant, located in the Milledgeville Business Park at the intersection of Illinois Route 40 and Shannon Road, will blend proprietary and commodity dry and liquid fertilizers for surrounding farms and will provide application services through floater trucks and other equipment. “We are excited to increase our capacity to better serve our Illinois customers,” said CEO Tony Michaels. “For over 30 years, we’ve helped farmers improve crop yields and quality through our premium fertilizers and services. We’re excited to have the opportunity to bring these benefits to a wider customer base.” Midwestern BioAg is currently in the bidding process for the facility’s construction, and it expects to break ground this summer. The facility is expected to employ 15-20 people over the next two years. “On behalf of our citizens and the surrounding agricultural community, we welcome Midwestern BioAg to Milledgeville,” said Village of Milledgeville President Galen Wirth. “Midwestern BioAg will be a definite asset to our community and we look forward to a long relationship with them.” Founded in 1983, Midwestern BioAg has current annual sales of $40 million and serves 4,100 customers in 29 states and three Canadian provinces. The company has facilities in Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio.
