Staff will also be retained.
“By serving as an extension of the products and services we currently provide through our Dunvegan ag business centre in Rycroft, Alta., the new facility enhances our ability to do business with producers in this highly productive agriculture region,” Darwin Sobkow, Richardson’s vice-president for agribusiness operations, said in a news release.

Buhler makes buy
Buhler Industries Inc. of Winnipeg has bought the assets of Feterl Manufacturing Corp. of Salem, S. D.
The company, which makes grain handling equipment such as conventional and swing-away augers, drive-over hoppers and grain cleaners, filed for bankruptcy early last year. It had been in business for 50 years.
Buhler Industries said in a news release the acquisition will allow it to expand its line of Farm King grain handling equipment and increase auger manufacturing capacity.
The purchase includes manufacturing plant, land, equipment, inventory, patents and trademarks.
Buhler was assisted by a low interest loan provided by the South Dakota Economic Development Corp.
