About Roth Fertilizer
Same land. Same family. Since 1892.
Roth Fertilizer opened in 1995, but the Roth family has been on this land near Bowie a lot longer than that. Five generations, starting with a small farm in the old Salona community.
Here’s how we got here.
Our story
Five generations, one piece of ground.
1892
The family farm
George Roth and his family immigrated from Germany to the old community of Salona in Montague County, about 7 miles east of Bowie, Texas, and started a small family farm growing cotton, peanuts, and whatever else they needed to farm to survive.
1973
A dairy on the same land
Waldo Roth, George’s grandson, started a dairy on that land.
1995
Roth Fertilizer
Waldo, along with his son Bryan, started Roth Fertilizer.
Today
The 5th generation
The 5th generation of the Roth family continues to live and work on the same land their forefathers homesteaded in 1892.
What we do today
Still family. Still local.
