"Environmental stewardship is a marketing philosophy we use to the benefit of our customers,” says Bruce Barganz, sales manager for the Jefferson County Farmco Co-op. “This also positions us as a company interested in the long-term success of environmentally sound farming practices.”

The co-op recently completed a 2,300 ton dry fertilizer facility that contains two blenders and impregnation equipment. South-central Wisconsin agriculture is diverse, but the co-op’s on-the-go, liquid-herbicide injection systems are efficient, environmentally sound and well-suited to that crop diversity.
