MECHANICSBURG |
The Mechanicsburg Agronomy Branch was originally "Frontier Farm" which was built in 1978. Champaign Landmark purchased this facility in the mid 80s. We are located at the corner of Routes 29 and 187 east of Mechanicsburg. The most recent addition to our branch is the construction of a 56' x 80' seed warehouse.
Mechanicsburg Fertilizer is a full service agronomy facility including fertilizer, chemicals, seed, custom application, farmer rental application equipment and our Crop Advantage Program (which includes the latest in global positioning service).
John Tapp is agronomy manager. John has over 28 years experience in the agricultural production of products and services with Champaign Landmark. This far eastern Champaign County branch services customers in a 25-mile radius including Champaign, Clark, Madison and Union counties.
