Fertilizer Plant First Project in B & I Park

Iron Horse Ag Invests Millions in Local Project

Iron Horse Ag’s official groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, July 17, marked the launch of the first development in PCDC’s Iron Horse Business & Industry Park.

Tye and Aimee Marquardt are investing millions of dollars into Iron Horse Ag, the dry and liquid fertilizer division of Nebraskaland Aviation. The new facility will span 40,000 square feet and occupy 18 acres within the business park.

“We must acknowledge the incredible foresight, strategic vision, and thoughtful planning of PCDC in developing the Iron Horse Business & Industry Park,” Tye Marquardt said. “The 134-acre hub is equipped with seamless rail access, proximity to major highways like 6 & 34 (just 18 miles south of I-80), expandable power and utilities and shovel-ready sites that not only position Phelps County as a prime destination for agribusiness expansion but also open doors for diverse industries to thrive. Leveraging our region’s fertile lands, abundant irrigation, and cost-effective resources to drive sustainable economic growth for years to come.”
