GAPS, LLC was founded by Rob Blackwell in Ithaca in 1998 with a vision of helping growers maximize their outputs. Through the years he piloted GAPS into the full-service seed, crop protection, fertilizer, and custom application experts we are today. The company expanded to include a second location in Middleton during 2012, and our Dry Fertilizer Facility was added as a third facility in 2015. In 2018 GAPS became a retail division of GROWMARK, headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois and is now known as GAPS FS.
GAPS FS serves an 18-county area in mid-Michigan, Gratiot, Clinton, Montcalm, Ionia, Isabella, Saginaw, Ingham, Midland, Gladwin, Ogemaw, Iosco, Arenac, Bay, Genesee, Kent, Livingston, Shiawassee, and Mecosta.
