The Andersons Inc., Maumee, Ohio, said on Jan. 25 it has expanded its organic storage in Waterloo, Ind., to meet the growing demand for bulk organic nutrients in the Eastern Cornbelt and Midwest. Through a partnership with Intrepid Potash Inc., Denver, the company is now selling OMRI-listed granular muriate of potash (MOP 0-0-60) from its Waterloo facility.
“Intrepid is excited to partner with The Andersons in providing sustainable, high-quality organic nutrient products for organic growers in the Eastern Cornbelt,” said Alex Uhls, Intrepid Organic Ag Manager.
“We are excited about this partnership to further our support for organic agriculture,” said Sarah Pirolli, Vice President and General Manager of The Andersons Plant Nutrient segment. “Our Waterloo facility is the only organic MOP bulk warehouse in the Midwest. This asset allows us to grow and provide more options for producers who are looking to source their organic plant nutrient needs.”
Other organic-approved products currently available at Waterloo include The Andersons NutraLime ® OP, NutraSoft ® OP, Humic DG™, Black Gypsum DG ®, and SmartPhos ® DG Natural, as well as Chilean Nitrate, organic sulfur, and organic boron.
The Andersons said it is working to add more organic products and services in 2021 to better serve organic producers.
