On December 11, 2024, AgroLiquid, known for its high-efficiency liquid fertilizer solutions, announced its acquisition of Monty's Plant Food Company, a Louisville-based specialist in soil health and plant nutrition technology. This acquisition will be effective from January 1, 2025, and represents a strategic move to enhance agricultural innovation by combining the distinct strengths of both companies. As two family-founded businesses, AgroLiquid and Monty's share a commitment to farmer success, aiming to improve crop nutrition technologies available to agricultural producers. The collaboration is expected to optimize nutrient efficiency and productivity for growers by leveraging AgroLiquid's liquid fertilizer expertise alongside Monty’s specialized knowledge in soil health and humic technology.

This strategic acquisition not only marks a new chapter for Monty’s but also reinforces AgroLiquid’s mission to prosper the farmer by continuously researching and improving its products. As the agricultural industry evolves, this partnership is expected to create new opportunities and ensure that both companies can better serve the growing demands of modern agriculture.
