McCook, Neb.-Kugler Co., a family-owned manufacturer of fertilizer products for agriculture and turf care, has announced the establishment of a production facility in Rapid City, South Dakota. Kugler says the facility will focus on foliar and low-salt products such as KQ-XRN® 28-0-0 slow release nitrogen, which is in high demand due to its documented impact on yield and its unique adhesive qualities, making it the Perfect Delivery System for crop protection chemicals. In addition to a line of high-quality agricultural and turf fertilizers, the plant also has the capacity to manufacture products for industrial use. When operating at full capacity, the Rapid City plant will employ up to five people. The plant will not only increase the company’s manufacturing capacity, but will also enable Kugler to better serve its growing agriculture and turf market in the northern plains. According to the company, demand for Kugler fertilizers is growing in South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Minnesota. The facility will allow Kugler Co. to be even more responsive to its customers throughout the upper Great Plains. Kugler has developed proprietary manufacturing processes that distinguish its products in terms of quality, ease of application, handling, and performance in the field. Established in 1924, Kugler is a third-generation firm headquartered in McCook, Neb. The company has fertilizer manufacturing operations in Culbertson, Neb.; Sterling, Colo.; and Ulysses, Kan.
