Marion Ag Service Inc. and Columbia Seeds have announced a new supply and marketing consortium, merging their strengths to offer a comprehensive suite of agronomic solutions.

The partnership combines Marion Ag’s advanced fertilizer technology and soil amendments with Columbia Seeds’ expertise in the seed market.
