Lortscher Animal Nutrition Inc. Has Over 60 Years Experience In The Animal Food Industry!

1950 1965 1980 1995 20252010

Lortscher Grain was founded in 1948 by Dave and Marjorie Lortscher.

In 1975, Gary and Betty Lortscher purchased the company and changed the name to Lortscher Agri Service, Inc. Main focuses: grain, fertilizer, feed, milling, warehouse and distribution, and research and development with pet food companies.

The company was purchased in 2010 by the current ownership group: Brent & Linda Lortscher, Tim & Yvonne Krehbiel, and Rand Schafer. Due to continued success and growth of all divisions of LASI, it became necessary to separate out the different segments of business. The “Animal Nutrition” as well as “Agronomy” divisions now operate as separate entities but under the direction of the parent company, Lortscher Agri Service, Inc.


In 2014, the Brownwood, Texas Location is purchased.
