Our Fertilizer Division

We here at Farmers Cooperative recommend getting a soil sample done before applying any lime or fertilizer to your acreage. We want to help you find exactly what you need. All you need to do is fill a ziplock sandwich bag with soil from around the acreage you wish to test and bring it into our store. Make sure you write your name, phone number and what the acreage is (ie. horse pasture, lawn, etc.) so we can contact you with results. Who knows, you may not even need to apply lime or fertilizer!
