Keystone Cooperative has completed more than $10 million in agronomy infrastructure upgrades across three locations in Indiana and Ohio, part of a broader $22 million investment to support member-owners and modernize operations.
The upgrades include new liquid chemistry and fertilizer loadout facilities at the Bremen Agronomy Center in Bremen, Indiana; the Fritchton Agronomy Center near Vincennes, Indiana; and the Eldorado Agronomy Center near Eldorado, Ohio. The Eldorado site is also planning a new dry fertilizer hub, currently in the permitting phase, bringing Keystone’s total investment in Ohio to over $12 million.
“These investments reinforce our longstanding commitment to helping farmers succeed, both today and well into the future,” said Kevin Still, Keystone’s president and CEO. “As farms continue to evolve in size, scale, and sophistication, our cooperative must evolve alongside them.”
The new facilities feature industry-leading designs that improve operational efficiency, enabling faster turnaround times, precision mixing, and more flexible service within a 30-mile radius of each center.
Doug Whicker, Keystone’s vice president of agronomy, emphasized the importance of modernization to meet the needs of today’s farmers. “These facilities are a clear signal to our members that Keystone is committed to them, to their families, their communities, and to the next generation of farmers.”
The projects reflect Keystone’s unified strategy to strengthen supply reliability, enhance environmental responsibility, and improve service experiences across its footprint. “This is a major step forward, not just for Keystone, but for every farm family who depends on us,” Still added.
