Allied Cooperative opened its new dry fertilizer plant at its agronomy location in Plover.
Built on the existing site at 4809 Monroe Ave., the new facility is a major investment.
With a storage capacity of 14,000 tons, the plant is equipped with state-of-the-art mixing and high-speed blending systems. It allows for faster receiving, custom blending, and efficient shipping to Allied’s fleet and walk-in customers. The upgraded system also includes expanded bin space and enhanced storage capacity. This enables Allied to offer a wider range of fertilizer products.
A key feature of the new facility is trackside railcar unloading, which allows railcars to be offloaded directly indoors. This minimizes weather-related delays and helps ensure a steady, efficient flow of fertilizer to meet seasonal demand.
The plant also includes a new office space and small conference room to better support daily operations and provide a comfortable meeting space for customer consultations and agronomic planning.
Located in the heart of Wisconsin’s Central Sands region, the Plover location serves one of the nation’s premier vegetable-growing areas. Local growers produce potatoes, sweet corn, green beans, peas, carrots, cucumbers, and a variety of row crops.
“This new facility reflects our long-term commitment to the growers of Central Wisconsin,” says Allied CEO Rob Larson. “By investing in modern infrastructure and technology, we’re ensuring our ability to deliver fast, reliable service while helping producers stay competitive and productive in today’s ag economy.”
The new fertilizer plant is now fully operational.
