A&L Great Lakes is an independently owned laboratory. The science of agricultural analysis is our core, but so are the people we provide our analysis for.

Donald (Don) Ankerman was an agronomist at heart โ and the โAโ in A&L Agricultural Laboratories.
His impact on the company and the agricultural community continues to be felt decades later.
