Richardson Pioneer is buying Crop First Agro, an independent retail crop input centre in Grenfell, Sask. It sells seed and crop protection products and provides agronomic advice. Richardson plans to add a high-speed fertilizer blender to the site.
The acquisition adds to Richardson’s expanding prairie network of crop input centres.
The company is also building crop input centres in Saskatchewan in Pasqua, Elrose and Wakaw, which are expected to be fully operational by the end of this year.Â
