Winnipeg-based Richardson International is continuing to expand its retail crop inputs network across the Prairies.

The company has announced the acquisition of 10 retail crop inputs locations in western Canada from CHS Canada LP.

“We look forward to expanding our presence in these areas and working with local producers to provide them with leading seed, fertilizer and crop inputs technologies, supported by our CropWatchTM  agronomy team and best-in-class service,” says Tom Hamilton, Vice-President, Agribusiness Operations.

Richardson will acquire nine crop inputs locations in Alberta and one in Saskatchewan.

The nine locations in Alberta are located in Alix, Beiseker, Bow Island, Carseland, Craddock, Lacombe, Rolling Hills, Standard, and Vauxhall.

“At Richardson Pioneer, we are focused on building our retail crop inputs business and expanding our network across Western Canada,” says Hamilton. “We will continue to target strategic locations to expand our presence and ultimately offer our services, products and expertise to more producers across the Prairies.”

The transaction is expected to close in November.
