St. Johns, Mich. — Agro Culture Liquid Fertilizers announced that it intends to break ground on a new 50,000 square feet corporate headquarters facility in St. Johns, Mich., this spring. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for April 11, immediately next to the company’s current headquarters in St. Johns. “In 1999 we laid out an ambitious plan to grow 20 percent every year for 20 years,” said Agro-Liquid CEO Troy Bancroft. “Due to our dedicated employees and excellent management, I am proud that we have not only met but also exceeded these goals. However, the one thing we are now lacking is the physical space to accommodate the growth we have had. We made the decision to invest in our manufacturing facilities initially, but corporate staff has grown significantly in the last 3-5 years.” Lansing-based Wieland-Davco Corporation has been hired as the project’s design/build manager. The design features a glass “silo” structure, and dedicated space for a 10,000 square feet agricultural museum that will contain dozens of antique tractors and exhibits demonstrating agriculture sustainability. The facility is slated to be finished by summer 2012 to coincide with the company’s 30th anniversary.
