AG Solutions began as an agronomy consulting service carrying a few Ag products that were not readily available. Mainstream Ag input suppliers were not providing the most beneficial, sustainable Ag product lines so AG Solutions became a distributor to provide customers with a better approach to soil science and plant nutrition with more sustainable solutions. The inputs of fertilizers, soil amendments, and seed were added as product offerings.
In 2007, the business was merged with other Ag businesses at a new location at the Mapleton Ag Business Center. The focus remains “providing profitable technologies through soil science”. The new company continues its long-term commitments in support of producers to feed their plants, heal their soils, and remain economically competitive in their attempts to feed the world.
