Gro Alliance LLC reached an agreement that establishes a strategic relationship with Ansco Seed to provide field production acreage and drying facilities to Gro Alliance at its Whiting, Iowa location.

“The Ansco facility compliments our Whiting facility,” said Gro Alliance CEO Lou Schweigert. “In searching for mutually beneficial and strategic relationships with high quality producers, this is an ideal fit.”

The agreement provides Gro Alliance and its clients’ access to another modern drying facility and additional high quality irrigated production acres. It will also allow Gro Alliance to more efficiently grow small lots in the Whiting production area and gives Gro Alliance a facility with both double-pass and single-pass reversing drying systems; something few facilities in the nation can offer.

For Ansco Seed, the growing and drying agreement with Gro Alliance provides a stable level of business and will allow a greater focus on field production.

“Our passion has been and will continue to be excellence in field production. Being able to tap into Gro Alliance’s industry strength in new business development, internal operations and access to capital will allow us to do what we do best,” said Kurt Neldeberg, owner of Ansco Seed

Similar to the Agreement signed with Lord’s Seed of Howe, Indiana earlier this year, Ansco will remain an independent company while operating under the Gro Alliance business umbrella which includes facilities in Whiting and Belle Plaine, Iowa; Cuba City, Wisconsin; Farmer City, Illinois; and Bluffton and Howe, Indiana.
