Hart AgStrong LLC
About AgStrong
Since 2006, AgStrong has been building relationships with local farmers by contracting oilseed production acres. After AgStrong LLC’s completion of its first pilot crushing facility, the Bowersville, Georgia facility was constructed and began production of canola and sunflower oil/meal in 2009 with equity positions from local farmers and investors. With the success of Bowersville, Hart AgStrong will complete it's second Crushing facility in Trenton, Kentucky.
