United
Prairie, LLC was organized and formed in 1996 when Grand
Prairie COOP and Unity Grain, which has since merged with
the Bement Grain Company to form the Topflight Grain COOP,
decided to combine their fertilizer and chemical divisions
and resources in order to better serve area growers. Then
in early 1997 the Monticello Grain Company, joined the parent
companies, by adding their fertilizer and chemical resources
to United Prairie.
Today
United Prairie, LLC has four locations in East Central Illinois.
Each facility supplies area growers with many of the crop
inputs and services that are needed for agricultural production
today.
These
agronomic products and services include fertilizer, seed,
chemicals for crop protection, custom application of fertilizers
and chemicals, variable rate application of fertilizer and
lime, GPS soil sampling, yield mapping, and crop scouting.
