Superior Ag opens new $20 million dry fertilizer facility to expand farmer access in Indiana and Kentucky

The president and CEO of Superior Ag says its new Ohio River terminal could help increase access to dry fertilizer for farmers across the state.

Richard Lloyd says the recently completed $20 million project will help meet demand during peak seasons. 

“It’s 32,000 tons of dry fertilizer storage,” he says. “We have a large urea bin on one side of the building. We’ll be able to hold phosphates and all of the nutrients that we need to be able to take care of the soils in southern Indiana and Kentucky.”

He tells Brownfield an efficient supply chain can help improve farmer profitability.

“Being able to get the most cost competitive products when they need it to the farm as effectively and as quickly as they can, especially in peak seasons, is very, very important for the longevity and the competitiveness of our local farmers.”

Llyod says the facility represents the cooperative’s long-term investment in the future of Indiana’s ag industry.
