Ramboc buys Harvestore
The owner of Ramboc Enterprises Ltd. has bought Manitoba-based Managro Harvestore.
Tom Struthers, who bought Managro through a holding company, said the two companies will work closely together.
“Ramboc specializes in fertilizer and application equipment while Managro staff are experts in slurry storage,” Struthers said in a news release.
“There are sound environmental solutions to animal waste disposal and together we will provide producers with a comprehensive package on how to best protect their water supply and that of surrounding communities.”

Truck tarp business
Alex and Michelle Getzlaf have opened a new truck tarp sales and service company near Corrine, Sask.
They had nine years experience with Shur-Co in Avonlea, Sask., and when it closed they decided to start their own company, Alex Getzlaf said.
They built a 7,400 sq. foot shop at the junction of highways 6 and 334 that allows trucks to drive in for service.
In addition to carrying Shur-Lok, Michels and Agri-Cover products, the company can make truck and flatbed tarps. It also makes custom tarps for smaller equipment.
The company employs four people.
