Enns Brothers Ltd., and S.H. Dayton Ltd., both of Manitoba, have entered into an agreement where Enns Brothers will acquire 100% of the operating assets of S.H. Dayton Ltd., according to an article from Real Agriculture.

Enns Brothers is a John Deere dealer network with over 350 employees and agriculture equipment dealerships in eight Manitoba communities.

While Keith, Peter, and Cal have decided not to continue in their current roles, Enns Brothers says that Dale Martin and Craig Geekie, who have been with the organization for over 20 years, will take on the leadership of the Dayton branch.

Ray Bouchard, Enns Brothers president, says they are excited to have the knowledgeable S.H. Dayton Ltd. group join Enns Brothers.

From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.
