# AgriEnergy Solutions

> AgriEnergy Solutions is a Princeton, Illinois-based manufacturer of biological inputs for row-crop agriculture. Founded in 1983 and family-owned for more than 40 years, we help farmers improve soil biology, nutrient use efficiency, and crop performance through programs built on biology, carbon, and balanced nutrition — not single-product fixes.

We design fertility programs around three principles: feeding soil biology, balancing crop nutrition, and reducing reliance on synthetic inputs without sacrificing yield. Our product lines include organic-approved (OMRI-listed in both the United States and Canada) fertilizers, biological inoculants, microbial seed treatments, humic and fulvic carbons, and microbial residue digesters.

We sell through an authorized dealer network across the United States and Canada, supported by an in-house agronomy team. Customers range from conventional row-crop operations transitioning toward biology-first practices to certified organic farms.

## What makes AgriEnergy different

- **40+ years of biological farming experience.** Founded 1983, when "biological agriculture" was a fringe idea. Customers like Jim Mitchell have been with us since the early days.
- **Programs, not products.** We build fertility plans around the farm, the crop, and the soil — not around moving a single SKU.
- **Organic-approved across two countries.** Multiple products carry OMRI and OMRI Canada certifications, making them suitable for certified-organic operations on both sides of the border.
- **Independent and family-operated.** Headquartered in Princeton, Illinois (Bureau County). Not owned by a larger ag chemical company.
- **Dealer-supported, agronomist-backed.** Local dealers handle delivery and recommendations, with technical backup from AgriEnergy's agronomy staff.
- **Focus on soil biology + carbon + balanced nutrition.** The "AgriEnergy Cycle" — biology improves nutrient availability, balanced nutrients improve plant function, healthy plants feed biology back. The opposite of one-shot fertilizer thinking.
