AgroLiquid, a leader in high-efficiency crop liquid fertilizer solutions based in St. Johns, Michigan, announced the acquisition of Monty’s Plant Food Company, a Louisville, Kentucky-based specialist in soil health and plant nutrition technology, on Dec. 11.
The acquisition, effective Jan. 1, brings together two family-founded businesses that excel in agricultural innovation and share a commitment to farmer success.
“This strategic combination allows us to bring crop nutrition technologies to growers that wouldnʼt otherwise be available to them,” said Nick Bancroft, CEO of AgroLiquid. “While both companies share the same goals in advancing agricultural innovation, our different approaches to achieving them will create new opportunities to optimize nutrient efficiency and productivity for growers.”
The acquisition unites AgroLiquidʼs expertise in liquid fertilizer solutions with Montyʼs specialized knowledge in soil health and humic technology. Both companies will maintain their distinct brands and continue operating independently through the 2025 growing season to ensure seamless service to their respective customers.
“Joining forces with AgroLiquid marks an exciting new chapter for Montyʼs Plant Food,” said Jeff Sangalli, CEO of Montyʼs Plant Food Company. “Our shared farmer-first philosophy and commitment to innovation made this a natural fit. By combining our complementary strengths, weʼre positioned to deliver even greater value to the agricultural industry.”
The integration of the two companies will focus on leveraging operational capabilities, including manufacturing, warehousing and storage infrastructure to enhance service for customers. The combined entity will maintain both companies’ existing product lines while exploring opportunities for technological advancement in plant and crop nutrition solutions.
Following the acquisition, Monty’s Plant Food will continue to operate under its current name as a privately owned company, with Sangalli continuing to lead the Monty’s business. An acquisition price was not disclosed.
AgroLiquid manufactures and distributes high-efficiency liquid fertilizer formulated to protect nutrients from loss to the environment. AgroLiquid’s products work with, instead of against, the biology of the soil, which make them more usable by the crop. Montyʼs Plant Food Company manufactures plant and soil enhancement products for agriculture, lawn and garden, turf, hemp and wildlife markets.
