Smith Fertilizer & Grain

The SFG Difference

Smith Fertilizer & Grain strives to provide top of the line service and quality products at competitive prices, while keeping our customers profitable. We work diligently to embrace new technology and strive to stay committed to developing relationships with our customers, employees, and suppliers.
 
At SFG, success isn't measured in tons, gallons or bushels. It all comes down to what will make each producer stronger and more profitable. We realize that an impressive array of locations and equipment doesn't guarantee farmers will receive what they need to prosper. To provide outstanding service, we begin by listening.
 
SFG is poised for the future and will continue to focus on the demands of today’s rapidly changing agriculture market to better serve our producers. SFG provides our valued producers with the added benefit of another level of service; the old fashion personal kind of respect and determination to meet all your needs.

Our Story

In 1972, with hard work, sacrifice, determination, and a goal to provide better customer service, Lyman and Jeanne Smith, along with their two sons John and Max, formed Smith Fertilizer and Grain. With addition of the Pleasantville facility twenty years later, SFG doubled in size. The deicing business began in 2000 and has since grown into a market with several distribution locations in North America with the Pleasantville location being the main hub for deicing and dust control distribution. 2006 brought the purchase of the Albia location followed a year later with the Centerville location.

In 2019, SFG expanded yet again to better serve our customers and the surrounding area by adding locations at Milo, Melcher-Dallas, Columbia, and Knoxville. Many long hours were spent modernizing and updating the facilities and equipment in a very short amount of time.
