Meet Kirk Carls

Hi there!

For me, agriculture isn’t just an industry—it’s a commitment to the future of our soil. I’m Kirk Carls, the owner of Ag Organic, based in Springfield, Illinois, and since 2016, I’ve been on a mission to help farmers bridge the gap between profitability and sustainability.

At Ag Organic, we’re more than just a fertilizer supplier. We’re partners in the global movement toward sustainable agriculture. Whether you’re running a certified organic farm, transitioning to organic practices, or managing a conventional operation, we provide high-quality poultry fertilizer solutions that work for you. Our premium pellets and crumbles are enriching fields across North America and beyond, and I’m proud to lead the team driving this effort.

A Vision Rooted in Soil Health

When I started Ag Organic, my goal was simple: to give farmers access to effective, environmentally responsible nutrient management solutions. Farmers today are more aware than ever of the long-term impact of synthetic chemicals on soil health, and they need alternatives that rebuild soil structure without sacrificing yield. That’s where we come in.

Our premium poultry fertilizers, rich in essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), are designed to do more than feed crops—they empower farmers to make choices that benefit their land for generations to come. I believe sustainable farming is a journey, not a quick switch, and we’re here to support farmers every step of the way.

Tackling the Logistics of Natural Fertilizer

One of the biggest challenges in the organic fertilizer industry is logistics. Moving bulk materials like chicken litter can be expensive and inefficient, which often discourages farmers from making the switch. That’s why my team and I have worked hard to streamline our distribution system. With shipping centers and hubs in California, Georgia, Utah, Texas, and Illinois, we ensure farmers get the right products at the right time—without breaking the bank.

By keeping overhead costs low and maintaining high quality, we make sustainable options not just aspirational but economically viable for farms of all sizes, from small family operations to large commercial enterprises.

Innovation in Product Formats

I’ve always believed that sustainability should be practical, which is why we’ve focused on creating products that are easy to use. Raw manure can be messy and complicated to handle, so we’ve developed processed solutions that are “Made in the USA” and designed for modern farming equipment.

Our pelleted poultry fertilizer is a standout. Through heat treatment and compression, we transform raw material into uniform, pathogen-free pellets that are easy to spread. For top-dressing needs, we offer crumbled fertilizer, which breaks down quickly to deliver nutrients when plants need them most. These innovations reflect our deep understanding of the day-to-day realities of farming.

Expanding Our Reach

While Springfield, Illinois, is home, my vision for Ag Organic is global. We now offer international shipping, ensuring farmers worldwide can benefit from our high-quality fertilizers. Domestically, we’ve also expanded into soil blending, partnering with companies across the U.S. to provide nutrient-rich organic matter for nurseries, landscapers, and specialized growers. From backyard gardens to commercial greenhouses, we’re helping every growing environment thrive.

Putting Farmers First

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to our customers. When you call Ag Organic, you’re not just placing an order—you’re connecting with a partner who understands the stakes of your harvest. My team and I are here to provide expert advice and personalized support to help you choose the right products for your soil and crop goals.

Building a Sustainable Future

The name Ag Organic is more than a brand—it’s a promise. By recycling poultry waste into nutrient-rich fertilizers, we’re contributing to a circular economy that turns waste into a valuable resource. Our products are free from fillers and bedding materials, so you get a clean, honest product that’s good for your fields and the planet.
