Midwestern BioAg CEO Talks New Era in Exclusive Interview

Midwestern BioAg is embarking on a new era in biological and regenerative agriculture. I had the pleasure of speaking with CEO Gaji Balakaneshan about the company's new focus, which harkens back to their roots.

In this interview, Gaji spoke with me about MBA's new products, a new look for their Minnesota and Iowa facilities and the company's "strategic shift", which is all about supporting farmers through local, knowledgeable agronomy and retail partners.

According to a recent press release, Midwestern BioAg is entering a new era of Growth & Partnership

Midwestern BioAg (MBA), a pioneer in biological and regenerative agriculture, is
entering a new era focused on strengthening its core technologies, empowering trusted
partners, and ensuring growers across the Midwest and High Plains have access to the
agronomy tools and expertise they need to thrive.
As part of this transition, operations at MBA’s former Kinde, Michigan, facility will now
be managed locally by Morgan Composting, Inc. In addition, MBA’s Minnesota and Iowa
facilities were recently transitioned to current channel partner Grow Source earlier this
month; further strengthening localized support for growers through an established
partner network.
“This moment is less about one facility and more about a strategic shift,” said Gaji
Balakaneshan, CEO of Midwestern BioAg. “We’re returning to the roots our company
was built on—supporting farmers through local, knowledgeable agronomy and retail
partners. By focusing on our strengths, MBA is better positioned than ever to deliver
value to growers in every region we serve.”
For more than 40 years, MBA has led the way in soil health innovation, providing
farmers with advanced fertility products and agronomic insights. That legacy continues
today as the company invests in new product development, expands training and
education for regional partners, and prepares to introduce the next generation of
solutions to help farmers achieve healthier soils and higher yields.
“This is the beginning of a renewed chapter for MBA,” added Balakaneshan. “We’re
committed to working alongside trusted partners who share our vision for farmer
success and soil health—ensuring that every farm has access to the tools and expertise
they need, close to home. And this is only the beginning, we have a lot of exciting
announcements coming, and the market will want to keep a close eye on what’s next
from MBA.”
Over the next few months, Midwestern BioAg will roll out nearly a dozen new products,
including a breakthrough first-in-its-category innovation.
With major product innovations on the horizon, the Midwestern BioAg leadership team
is available to discuss emerging trends in soil health, fertility efficiency, and biological
inputs shaping the next generation of agriculture.
