With a multi-year strategic partnership, Growmark and Indigo Ag announce FS cooperatives will expand distribution and sales of Indigo’s portfolio of biological products.
Growmark has been working with Indigo’s product portfolio since 2021 as well as its carbon program. But the companies say Indigo’s recent development of the Clips device, was the catalyst for this expanded agreement which includes the entire FS network in the U.S. and Canada.
“Biological products have the potential to deliver valuable benefits for growers, but utilizing them on the farm can be a challenge due to stability, shelf-life, and application constraints,” said Growmark COO, Wade Mittelstadt. “Indigo’s Clips system addresses all of those hurdles and is an incredibly easy and innovative solution.”
Clips was introduced earlier this fall and is a flowable powder seed coating application system.
“Although the CLIPS device is only available with Indigo’s biotrinsic products in 2025, the new agreement with Growmark opens the discussion for future third-party product access to the Clips system providing even greater choice to farmers,” said Jon Giebel, VP of Product Strategy at Indigo said. “We believe that the Clips platform offers a new industry standard that will unlock the next generation of high-performing biological active ingredients, and through our partnership with Growmark, we will bring these products to farmers at scale.”
Indigo’s biotrinsic products have been evaluated on more than 2,000 field trials for their benefits including
“Innovation is a key component of Growmark’s enterprise strategy. We’re constantly evaluating new and novel product offerings through our AgValidity and MiField trial programs, as well as through our venture capital fund, Cooperative Ventures,” said Mark Orr, Growmark CEO. This innovative strategic partnership with Indigo will create value for our member-owners, both through the licensing of the groundbreaking CLIPS system, as well as through Indigo’s market-leading biological portfolio.”
