Establishments in this class receive pre-manufactured fertilizer ingredients — such as nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium compounds — and blend or mix them into finished fertilizer products for sale, typically to agricultural distributors, co-ops, or direct farm customers. Operations generally involve bulk material handling, blending equipment, storage of dry and sometimes liquid inputs, and loading for outbound distribution.
