is the largest farm center network in North America. It supplies crop inputs
-- fertilizer, pesticides and seed -- and services to farmers. Its distribution network consists of more than 400 company-owned
farm service centers
and about 900 affiliated dealer sites. These locations are concentrated
in the midwestern and southern regions of the United States, and the eastern
region of Canada.
Terra serves growers' fertilizer needs with nitrogen in the form of anhydrous
ammonia, nitrogen solutions and urea, as well as phosphate and potash.
Terra markets its own line of off-patent chemicals under the Riverside
label as well as a full line of agricultural chemicals from all the major
agri-chemical producers. The company also markets its own line of Terra
brand® seed and is an exclusive distributor of DEKALB
brand seed in the Corn Belt, and sells the product lines of many other
seed companies.
Terra offers full-service to the grower. This includes soil sampling, soil
analysis, crop input recommendations, custom application, crop scouting,
tissue analysis, yield checks, crop financing, new product and agronomic
practice updates, and assistance with precision
agriculture. In order to deliver these products and services with the
highest quality possible, Terra maintains a rigorous training and continuing education
program through Terra
University. And with over 300 Certified
Crop Advisors on staff, supported by regional technical service representatives,
customers are assured access to the experts when and where they need them.
Terra is playing a leading role in bringing precision
agriculture to the farm. Precision ag relies on satellite technology
to help the grower adjust inputs to achieve maximum return. Precision ag
will take farming to its next productivity plateau, and Terra will provide
its customers with all the services they need to take advantage of this
important development.
