Valued Atkinson Grain & Fertilizer Customers,

In an abundance of caution Atkinson Grain & Fertilizer has taken following steps to protect the spread of the Coronavirus and has suspended all face to face activities with our customers in our office until further notice.

We are open for business to make sure your animals are fed, to market your grain and to make sure your crops are taken care of but in order to do our jobs, we have to be healthy.

Please call your feed orders into the office and when you come to pick up your feed orders stay in your vehicle and we will load your feed into your vehicle.  In addition, we will continue to deliver your bulk feed orders.

If you are dropping off a payment please leave it in the mailbox.

If you have any questions, please call our office 309-936-7177 regarding feed, fertilizer, seed and grain merchandising and Brandon, Cindy, Cameron, Mark, Mike and Blake will be able to assist you.

Thank you for your understanding.
