St. Johns, Mich.-Agro-Culture Liquid Fertilizers has announced plans to build a state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution facility in Ashley, Mich., to support the company’s growth in the eastern U.S. The 50,400 square foot facility will be the company’s largest, with manufacturing, truck loading, and distribution offices all under one roof. The location also has rail access, and the company says additional outside storage will be added to facilitate growth and an expansion of the existing rail track. Agro-Culture said the facility will have containment and environmental protection systems that exceed industry standards. No production figures were provided for the new facility, but the company said fertilizer production is set to begin at the new plant in the fall of 2011. Incorporated in 1983, Agro-Culture manufactures and markets in-house formulated and branded liquid fertilizer products that include macro and micro nutrients, secondary elements, supplemental nutritionals, and specialty products. The company has representatives in 36 states, including Michigan.
