Agrible Now
In 2018, Nutrien Ag Solutions acquired former Research Park startup Agrible, whose mission was to analyze and provide agronomic information using science and technology to transform results into globally useful knowledge. Today, Nutrien is committed to being the leading provider of agricultural inputs in each of its markets. Advancements in technology have allowed for more effective growing methods while minimizing environmental impacts. As they’ve welcomed more operations and expanded product and service offerings, their reach has become global. Nutrien Ag Solutions is now part of a network of retailers that spans three continents.
While Agrible still has an office located in Champaign, Illinois, they are now headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, and continue to serve customers all over the world.
