Agriliance LLC, Inver Grove Heights, Minn., on Feb. 1 announced an expansion of its wholesale crop nutrients distribution business in the Northeast through a storage and distribution agreement with Land O’Lakes Purina Feed LLC. Agriliance plans to move approximately 60,000 tons of crop nutrients annually through a dry fertilizer transload, blending, and distribution facility located in Caledonia, N.Y. The facility is owned by Commodity Resource Corp. (CRC) and leased by Land O’Lakes Purina Feed.
“The Caledonia facility aligns with our long-range strategy to grow our crop nutrients business, while providing the infrastructure we’re looking for,” said George Thornton, Agriliance president and CEO. “Strategic alliances like this one with Land O’Lakes will help Agriliance further serve dealers and growers in the Northeastern U.S., and will further maximize operational efficiencies.” Thornton said growers will have access to a full line of crop nutrient products at the Caledonia facility, in addition to crop protection products already being sold there.
