In the spring of 1989, OHIGRO, Inc. expanded its business by purchasing the Delaware Farmer’s Exchange, and beginning the subsidiary company, OHIGRO South, Inc. This acquisition gave OHIGRO new customers, a new area, and new competition in the marketplace. After six successful years in business, in 1`995, OHIGRO South, Inc. sold the feed and grain division, once again allowing the folks at OHIGRO to concentrate on fertilizer, seeds, and chemical sales and services.
