Clinton, Wisc. (AgPR) - The DeLong Co., Inc., of Clinton, Wisc. has entered into a dealer agreement with Meristem Crop Performance. In the new engagement, The DeLong Co. will now carry Meristem’s product portfolio of best-in-class nitrogen inhibitors, micronutrients, biologicals, adjuvants and plant growth regulators to crop producers across their service territory.
“We are doing this for the same reason we do anything: It’s about helping our crop producers cultivate their own prosperity,” said Jordan DeLong, Agronomy Manager, in announcing the engagement. “It’s clear to us that Meristem is bringing innovative technology to market that can help our growers raise more bushels for less." He adds that it’s about being in it for the long haul and continuing to always do what’s best for farmers.
“Our six-generation history is a testament to our long-term thinking,” he said. “For more than 110 years, our family has been committed to investing in the technologies and solutions that help our customers and align with our values: integrity, family, innovation, growth and quality.”
“It’s exciting for us to work with The DeLong Co., Inc.,” said Mitch Eviston, Meristem Founder and CEO in announcing the collaboration. “The DeLong Family has such a wonderful history. And their team has deep experience in bringing agronomic know-how to growers all over the Corn Belt. We’re glad to be riding with them on serving more growers and learning from them along the way.”
The DeLong Co., Inc. began when brothers William and Jesse DeLong, along with John B. Johnson, operated a grain and feed business in Avalon, Wisconsin sometime in the very late 1800s/early 1900s. In 1913, they began a grain operation in Darien, Wisconsin. Today that business has grown to 38 locations nationwide. While crop inputs and integrated agronomic services remain their core business, the family has also added adjacent services of grain marketing, logistics, insurance, and wholesale feed.
“At The DeLong Co., Inc. we work every day to help growers make the most of every seed and every acre,” says DeLong. “Meristem’s product line will boost our ability to do exactly that.” Making sense of the benefits biologicals hold for growers is an important aspect of the new relationship, he says. “The technology they are bringing to the field just makes sense.”
