AgSimple.com marks expansion into Michigan

PRLog - Feb. 23, 2012 - The expansion into Michigan is part of a strategy to grow into each state - starting in the Midwest and moving toward each coast.  Michigan ranks as a major diversified agricultural state.  Because of the moderating effects of Lake Michigan, the western shore of Michigan is a major fruit growing region with thousands of acres of apples, grapes, and cherries.  Michigan is also a major corn, soybean, and milk producer.
