United Prairie, LLC - Pierson, Illinois

At the Pierson facility, located between Decatur and Tuscola, IL, there is a full service chemical bay along with a small fertilizer storage/blending building. The office building shares space with the Monsanto seed warehouse. In the spring of 2006 we built another warehouse building which is the new home to our 40 X 72 sq. ft. shop with the other end being seed storage. The Pierson facility also has the convenience of receiving and unloading anhydrous ammonia by rail car.
