Mississauga, Ont.-Agrico Canada Ltd. has announced that Joe Tuer, Atwood Farm Supplies general manager, has joined the joint venture as a partner. “By coming on board as a partner with Agrico along with Ken Behrns and Kyle Coghlin, we are adding local ownership and we want the business to grow and continue to be an important part of the community,” said Tuer. “The move to one location at Donegal consolidated the staff, which added convenience for customers and makes the total operation more efficient.” The company had a former location in Mornington Township. Tuer has been involved in the ag service business since 1980. He said Atwood plans to offer more agronomic services and wants to assist local growers to improve their production. “Agrico is pleased to have Joe as a major partner in the operation,” said R.L. (Bob) Whitelaw, Agrico Canada president. “Agrico has been involved as a joint venture partner at Atwood Farm Supplies for 22 years. Now, by combining our history with Joe’s abilities and the move to Donegal, I have never been more optimistic about the future of Atwood Farm Supplies.” Agrico Canada has been supplying fertilizer to the Canadian market since 1931 and has grown to include a network of company-owned farm centers and joint venture partnerships.
