Cargill says it will begin construction this month on a new state-of-the-art fertilizer retail and distribution centre in central Alberta.
The US$30 million facility will be located at Camrose, adjacent to the company’s existing canola crushing plant.
The facility will allow farmers who deliver canola to backhaul fertilizer, saving time and reducing fuel consumption.
Completion of the facility is expected in August 2021.
The centre will have 35,000 tonnes of storage capacity and will feature industry-leading bulk load times for straight or blended fertilizers, the company said.
It will also offer liquid coating capabilities and a range of crop nutrient products through Cargill’s crop input network.
