📌 Employee Appreciation Week 2025 Recap
There were many hands involved in making this week a success, so thank you to everyone who helped bring it all together. We saw incredible participation in the games and competitions, great turnouts for the evening events, and overall, it was a fantastic week of fun that we hope everyone enjoyed.
None of this would have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our entire team. As a company, we continue to grow not just year over year, but quarter by quarter. The opportunities ahead are a direct result of everyone working together toward our shared goals. Thank you all for your commitment, your drive, and for living out our core values every single day.
We also want to thank Fred Merrell for sharing his time and golf wisdom with us. Fred has decided to return to his career as a professional golfer and has handed ownership of the company back to his brothers, Ted and Terry. Although he couldn’t quite deliver on his promise to add 100 yards to everyone’s tee shots (some swings just couldn’t be saved unfortunately), we’re grateful for the effort and wish him the best of luck going forward.
Congratulations again to all the contest winners, and thanks to everyone who joined us for a round of Merrell Bros. style golf. We’re already looking forward to another great appreciation week next year!
📌 First sale of FloridaGreen Bagged Fertilizer was made to Barry Keller with Ag Sales Associates, Inc. A big win and milestone moment for our company, plus another deal signed showing FloridaGreen Fertilizer is in demand!

Our team has also signed a contract with New Generation Ag to supply between 2000-2500 tons of FloridaGreen Fertilizer Pellets annually, which will be shipped to Indian Hills Golf Course in Ft. Pierce, FL to help grow lush green grass for the golf course.
Below are pictures of the first truckload of bags going out.
Solid proof that our FloridaGreen Fertilizer products are in demand and our team is ready to deliver. Exciting times and the start of more good things to come!
