Mechanicsburg Offers
The Mechanicsburg Agronomy Branch was originally “ Frontier Farm”
which was built in 1978. Champaign Landmark purchased this facility
in the mid 80s. We are located at the corner of Route 29 and Route 187
east of Mechanicsburg. The most recent addition to our branch is the
construction of a 56’ x 80’ seed warehouse. This coming year 2010 a
new seed warehouse with seed treatment is in the works.
Mechanicsburg Fertilizer is a full service agronomy facility including
fertilizer, chemicals, seed, custom application, farmer rental application
equipment and our Crop Advantage Program (which includes the latest
in global positioning service).
