Arrowood Prairie Co-op, Wimbledon, N.D. has opened its new $4 million, 4,000 st fertilizer blending plant at Wimbledon. Construction began in June 2022 and the facility replaces a plant built in 1969. Management credited local vendors and construction providers for getting the plant up and running within 13 months.
The co-op said the new technology is fast and efficient and should be able to load 25 st in less than ten minutes. Ag Sales Manager Royce Carlson said the new facility should take Arrowood to the next level of being extremely competitive in the fertilizer market.
Arrowood is a locally owned and operated cooperative based in Wimbledon, with branches in Cooperstown, Carrington, and Sutton, N.D. The co-op provides agronomy, fertilizer, chemical custom application, gas, refined fuels, propane, automobile and light truck repair, and tire sales.
