Woodburn Fertilizer, as its name implies, is primarily a fertilizer blending and shipping facility. Ingredients are brought in by truck and rail from all over North America and the Pacific Rim. Ingredients are blended to specification and shipped bulk or packaged. Packaging varies from 1 lb to 50 lbs in paper or plastic bags, boxes, or jugs to meet individual customer requirements. Much of the fertilizer is packaged under the Woodburn Fertilizer “ Perfection Brand ” however, a great deal is toll packaged for resellers and done under private labels. Fertilizer from Woodburn supplies the Agricultural, Nursery, Landscape, Turf and Retail Garden Center Industries throughout the Western United States.
In addition to dry fertilizer, the Company also stocks a comprehensive line of agricultural and ornamental pesticides, operates a liquid fertilizer blending facility, a seed cleaning facility and maintains a supply of feed.
