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.

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
