JUST ADD LIFE
WE SAY “Just Add Life” because in 1980 we began with the idea that there may be a different way to look at farming…a way that is sustainable and makes everything work better. A way that multiplies the sunup-to-sundown-workday efforts. Our roots run deep in the understanding that adding life is really what makes every effort grow.

OUR PRODUCTS
IN TODAY’S MODERN AGRICULTURE, our efforts can deplete life or add life. When you look for ways to add life, it’s sustainable and makes everything work better. The result is enhanced plant and soil health for crops, gardens, and turf, as well as improved animal health and environment for livestock and wildlife.
Our products are all-natural, easy to use, and friendly to the soil, the plant, as well as the grower. AgriGro’s® formulations deliver essential plant nutrition along with an advanced prebiotic concentrate, which significantly increases the multitude of beneficial native microbial species already residing in the production environment.
Through these environmentally sound technologies, we’re adding life to crop production, livestock, home, turf, and wildlife markets. You don’t have to be dependent on crop production efforts that deplete life.
Just Add Life with AgriGro®.
