Richardson Pioneer expands crop inputs operations to Grenfell

After announcing the building of crop inputs facilities in Pasqua, Elrose and Wakaw last year, Richardson Pioneer has completed a successful take over of Crop First Agro in Grenfell.
 
Richardson to build three Saskatchewan Crop Input Centres
Tracey Shelton with Richardson Pioneer said they want to continue the excellent service provided to customers by Crop First Agro and grow the business as well.
 
“Crop First has been selling seed and crop protection products, and also providing agronomic advice. Which is something we will defiantly continue, but we also plan to add a high speed fertilizer blender in the Grenfell area, so really enhancing a well established business in the area,” Shelton said.
 
With the high speed blender customers will be able to buy fertilizer in Grenfell.
 
Shelton said all of the Crop First Agro employees have remained on staff since the sale.
 
She also said they are continuously looking for areas where they do not currently conduct business to expand to.
