Landus Cooperative is embarking on a groundbreaking $15 million fertilizer and distribution project near Boone, aiming to revolutionize the traditional supply chain in agriculture. By cutting out the middleman and producing slow-release fertilizers directly at their facility, Landus is prioritizing cost-effectiveness and sustainability for farmers. The cooperative has partnered with Talus Renewables to establish the nation's first green modular ammonia plant in Iowa, which will operate using solar and wind energy to significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional fertilizer production methods. This innovative approach not only benefits farmers with lower costs but also ensures stability and availability in the supply chain, especially during volatile market conditions. Furthermore, federal tax credits for green hydrogen production are poised to make Talus' fertilizer up to 30% cheaper for farmers, contributing to a more sustainable and economically viable agricultural sector. The Boone demonstration plant's proximity to the Farm Progress Show highlights the cooperative's commitment to showcasing cutting-edge agricultural solutions to growers and stakeholders.
