Hawk's Agro Expanding

Its official Hawk's Agro is buying Blair’s family of companies Strongfield location.

Hawk's General Manager Derek Freeman says it’s a good fit for their company noting they offer a wide variety of services.

“We offer fertilizer blending, chemical, feed, inoculant sales, agronomy support, and custom application.”

He’s pleased that all the employees have decided to stay on.

Hawk's Agro now has seven locations in Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Central Butte, Gravelbourg, Neville, Rouleau and now Strongfield.

With the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of businesses including Hawk's have new protocols in place to meet consumer needs and protect staff.

“Customers if they want to come pick up product they sure can, but they have to stay in their truck.  We’re doing Bill of Ladings electronically and product seems to be coming in and going out as normal.”

Freeman notes there haven’t been any real supply issues but products coming in from the U-S are starting to get a little behind.

As a result, they are trying to move products out to the farm, so they have more storage space.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
