Two New Fertilizer Facilities to Address Supply Issues, Unveiling Set for Sept. 16 in St. Louis

AGROTAIN International Inviting Growers, Agribusinesses to Attend
ST. LOUIS--(Business Wire)--
With its new Stabilized Nitrogen Center and St. Louis Urea Center,
AGROTAIN International has built a bridge, of sorts, to international
fertilizer markets. The two new facilities represent the largest
inland urea import terminal and the first phase-modifying urea
manufacturing plant in the United States.

AGROTAIN International and its parent, Lange-Stegmann Company,
built the facilities to meet the growing demand for imported urea and
the agribusiness world is paying attention - a large national and
international turnout is expected for the grand opening in St. Louis
on Tuesday, Sept. 16. Others interested in attending also are invited
to RSVP at www.UreaCenterTour.com.

Mike Stegmann, President of Lange-Stegmann Company, says what
drove the more than $20 million investment in the two facilities was a
combination of skyrocketing demand and a strong history of partnership
with their customers.

"The new Urea Center will allow our customers to use the facility
as part of their own supply networks and provide affordable access to
urea fertilizer from around the world," explains Stegmann. "Our
Stabilized Nitrogen Center, on the other hand, will help improve the
efficiency of nitrogen from urea in this time of record-breaking
demand, when growers need the most from every ounce of their
fertilizer investment."

Because they are strategically located on a section of the
Mississippi River that is lock- and ice-free, both facilities ensure
year-round access to and from the country's agricultural heartland by
road, rail and river transport. The Urea Center has a massive storage
capacity of 63,000 tons with the ability to turn over its inventory
four times a month. The Stabilized Nitrogen Center implements a
one-of-a-kind process of phase modification that takes the basic
nitrogen commodity and transforms it into an enhanced efficiency
nitrogen source.

AGROTAIN International and Lange-Stegmann have invited thousands
of representatives from the local, national and international
agriculture industry as well as a number of government officials to
attend the grand opening on Tuesday, Sept. 16, but the event is open
to all interested farmers, retailers and related agribusinesses. For
more information on the event, and to RSVP, interested parties can go
