Four agriculture retail businesses in central Alberta will come under Parrish & Heimbecker ownership Feb. 2.
Crop Production Services outlets in Sedgewick, Wainwright, St. Paul and Marwayne will be acquired by P&H in a move it said would give it a presence in north-central Alberta.
Justin Watson, P&H national director of crop nutrients, said in a news release that his company has been “aggressively expanding its footprint in the crop input business across Canada,” and this is part of that initiative.
The release said current staff at those locations will be retained. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
P&H is a family owned business incorporated in 1909. It has grain, flour milling and feed company interests as well as crop production services outlets.
