Richardson has expanded its crop inputs network across Western Canada by acquiring Crop First Agro, an independent retail crop inputs centre in Grenfell, SK.

Crop First Agro has been a key service provider in the Grenfell market for many years, selling seed and crop protection products and providing agronomic advice. Richardson plans on adding a high speed fertilizer blender to enhance services available to customers in the area.

Richardson is currently building three new crop input centres in other locations in Saskatchewan. In September, the company announced it is building new crop inputs facilities in Pasqua, Elrose and Wakaw, which are expected to be fully operational by the end of 2017.
