De Willard began serving the agricultural community in 1948 when at age 16 he purchased a harvester to do custom work for local farmers in Montgomery County, Maryland.  As a result of De’s total focus on the customer’s needs and profitability, the business flourished.

In 1970, De opened his first liquid fertilizer company to meet the growing needs of his customers.  The Frederick, Maryland plant was one of the first in the area to manufacture liquid fertilizers and today is still serving Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey.  By maintaining De’s original focus on the customer’s needs and profitability, Willard Agri-Service of Frederick, Inc., has grown to now include five plants serving the Mid-Atlantic region.  We employ over ninety of your neighbors who are constantly looking for new and better ways to serve our customers.  Meeting our customer’s needs has always been our number one priority.

Liquid fertilizer and prescription blending provide important flexibility, which enables Willard Agri-Service to easily meet the exact nutrient requirements for each field on an individual basis.

The importance of our HighQ decision support system can not be understated. HighQ enables Willard to harness the power of technology, bringing usable information back to our customers, enabling them to make more profitable and environmentally sound decisions.
