CommoditAg, the Effingham, Ill.-based e-commerce platform, said on June 26 that it has added six Liqui-Grow warehouse locations in Northern Illinois and Iowa.
“Liqui-Grow, a division of Twin State Inc., is a powerful, innovative ag retailer who understands change and meeting customers’ expectations,” said Tim Bence, CommoditAg chief operations officer. “We know Liqui-Grow will be a great complement to CommoditAg’s existing powerhouse group of ag retailers. CommoditAg continues to expand across the Midwest, giving growers greater access, convenience, and more choice.
“Adding Liqui-Grow/Twin State Inc. to CommoditAg’s network is another large step toward our mission for convenience powered by trust,” continued Bence. The six warehouses include two in Illinois – Roseville and Prophetstown – and four in Iowa – Hampton, Traer, Mt. Pleasant, and DeWitt.”
“At Liqui-Grow, servicing growers has always been our top priority,” said Scott Tinsman Jr., Twin States co-owner. “Offering farmers additional purchasing options makes sense, because each operation is unique and evolving. Our company has grown significantly through agriculture’s changing environment for more than 60 years, and we are not about to stop now. CommoditAg gives growers of Iowa and northern Illinois another purchasing option that directly complements our full-service offerings.”
Liqui-Grow and Twin State are based in Davenport, Iowa. The family-owned Twin State was founded in 1958 and is focused on serving Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. They join a growing CommoditAg network that includes Landmark Services Cooperative in Wisconsin, Sunrise Cooperative in Ohio, MKC in Kansas, and The Equity in Illinois.
CommoditAg said its website lets growers order chemicals and plant nutrition products shipped directly to their door or for pick-up at one of the many cooperating facilities. It also does not charge a membership fee.
“CommoditAg continues to expand across the Midwest, giving growers greater access, convenience, and more choice,” said Bence. “Adding Liqui-Grow/Twin State Inc. to CommoditAg’s network is another large step toward our mission for convenience powered by trust.”
