Ag Solutions Network

What Ag Solutions Network does

Ag Solutions Network (ASN) is a privately held US crop nutrition company founded circa 2013–2014 by Monte Bottens, headquartered in Moline/Aledo, Illinois. The company develops and distributes the POWER2GRO Crop Production System, an enzyme-based biological crop nutrition platform comprising three product lines - MACROS (macronutrients), MICROS (including the TUNE UP series of complexed micronutrients - Zn, Mn, Fe, B, Mo, Mg, Cu, Co), and BIOLOGICALS (enzymatic products designed to work with existing soil microbes). The underlying technology rests on proprietary nutrient timing models, injection methods, and biological formulations developed and refined over more than 20 years of on-farm trials.

ASN's product portfolio extends to crop-specific nutrition programs for alfalfa, corn (dryland, irrigated, and silage), cotton, soybeans, wheat, cover crops, onions, and almonds, plus the EpiYield Non-GMO Seed Program which provides epigenetically enhanced soybean seed that farmers can save and replant. The company also publishes the AgEmerge Podcast (194+ episodes), a thought-leadership platform on soil health and regenerative agriculture.

ASN sells through a multi-state US dealer network (including Montana Ag Solutions, California Ag Solutions, and Cross Creek Ag Solutions) supported by a dedicated dealer dashboard, with additional direct-to-consumer sales under the Bottens Family Farm's Grateful Graze label for grass-fed livestock. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year crop programs customized to individual soil and budget profiles. The company is founder-controlled, with no disclosed outside investment, no parent company, and a core team reported at 1–10 employees.

Direct peers

• Stoller USA: Stoller USA sells plant biological treatments and foliar nutrition products focused on plant health and stress mitigation — overlapping directly with POWER2GRO's DRAFT, RESTART, and TUNE UP product lines in product positioning and target crops.
• AgroLiquid: AgroLiquid sells proprietary liquid crop nutrition products (macro, micro, and biological) direct and through a dealer network to row-crop and specialty growers — directly comparable in product architecture, channel model, and target farmer segments to ASN's POWER2GRO system.
• Helena Agri-Enterprises: Helena distributes crop inputs including proprietary foliar nutrition and biological products through a U.S. dealer network with significant agronomic advisory emphasis; comparable in distribution model and crop nutrition focus though broader in scale.
• Verdesian Life Sciences: Verdesian develops and sells nutrient use efficiency and biological crop nutrition products targeted at row-crop and specialty growers — a comparable focus area to POWER2GRO's biologicals and foliar nutrition programs.

Emerging players

• Pivot Bio: Pivot Bio sells microbial nitrogen-fixing crop nutrition products to corn growers — a comparable biological crop nutrition category overlapping with ASN's biological line, but with significantly more venture capital and broader distribution.
• Sound Agriculture: Sound Agriculture develops enzyme- and microbial-based nutrient efficiency and crop nutrition products for row crops — directly overlapping with POWER2GRO's biological approach while pursuing a more venture-backed, broader-acre go-to-market.
• Indigo Ag: Indigo Ag markets biological seed treatments and crop nutrition tied to regenerative agriculture outcomes — overlapping with ASN's regenerative positioning and biological product philosophy, but at much larger scale and with deeper capital backing.

Broad incumbents

• Wilbur-Ellis Agribusiness: Wilbur-Ellis distributes crop inputs including nutrition and biologicals through a U.S. dealer network across row and specialty crops — a broad incumbent whose distribution and agronomy model parallels ASN's, but at materially larger scale.
• Loveland Products (Nutrien): Loveland Products, the proprietary crop input arm of Nutrien, offers foliar nutrition and biological products through a U.S. dealer network — a broad incumbent with overlapping crop nutrition capabilities but a much wider product portfolio.
• WinField United (Land O'Lakes): WinField United supplies crop nutrition and protection products through a U.S. cooperative dealer network — comparable in distribution approach and customer base to ASN, though with much broader product breadth and institutional backing.
