We’re Your Farmertm

More Than a Grain Merchandiser – a Trusted Partner

At Stricks Ag, we are more than just a sustainable agriculture business – we are a community-driven company built on trust, quality and long-lasting partnerships. Our team helps revitalize the local agricultural community and is a source of expert knowledge in the grain supplier industry.

Our mission has always been about more than just moving products; it’s about building lasting relationships and expanding our ability to serve customers at every level of the supply chain. We take pride in our one-on-one service approach, ensuring that our customers receive not just high-quality grains but also the personal attention and expertise they deserve.

We offer competitive pricing and flexible solutions without compromising on quality. For us, “high quality” isn’t just a buzzword – it’s the foundation of everything we do. With transparent business practices, reliable logistics and a commitment to customer success, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted business partner, not just a bulk grain supplier.

Stricks Ag: Rooted in Tradition, Growing for the Future

Since 2013, Stricks Ag has been rooted in Chester, Montana, founded by three multigenerational farm families with a vision to create more opportunities for local growers. Recognizing the need for expanded market access, we took a significant step forward in 2017 by partnering with The Redwood Group.

This collaboration allowed us to pivot toward domestic and global markets, strengthening our role in the food supply chain and enhancing our ability to connect local farmers with broader opportunities, expanding the market for Montana grains.
