LAuREL - Construction of a new fertilizer service facility was initiated by the Urwiler Oil and Fertilizer firm a few weeks ago and is nearing completion just in time for the spring season. Walt Urwiler, head of the family oriented business explained that the firm constructed the plant to provide better service to the community and provide better fertilizer products than in the past.
The new plant is located in the northeast part of Laurel along Spruce Street.
Facilities presently include several large liquid storage tanks, an anhydrous tank and a bulk dry fertilizer storage building.
Which will also house office and administrative space for the new plant which is about a mile from the petroleum facilities of the firm located on Highway 15 on the south side of town.
Urwiler advised that the liquid fertilizer facilities utilized by the firm at its original location have been moved to the new site and all fertilizer products will be dispensed from the new facility.
Urwiler explained that the firm will have liquid fertilizer, dry fertilizer and anhydrous but the greatest emphasis will be placed on the suspension liquid fertilizer products and application which is made possible by a anhydrous and liquid blender being installed this week. The blender is expected to be ready for operation by the end of the week.
According to Urwiler, the suspension fertilizer system provides many advantages such as better distribution of nutrients and a better pattern in the soil than dry fertilizer. In addition, he said, micro-nutrients can be easily added and will be contained evenly in the liquid when applied. The liquid suspension fertilizers can be knifed into the soil or can be surface applied and tilled into the soil, Urwiler explained.

HARTINGTON — Three law suits pending against Cedar County and county employees represent potential liabilities which could be “enormous” according to County Attorney Mark Behm. Behm reported on the status of each of the three suits at Monday’s County Board meeting.
“Taken together, the suits are probably the most important issue that you are facing right now in terms of impact on the county,” Behm said.
The oldest of the three actions is scheduled for trial in District Court in Hartington on June 3. A civil rights action filed by Barbara Harrom, a former employee of the County Welfare Department, names the county commissioners and Welfare Office head Wilma Jean Leise as defendants in a $264,511 claim.
