Belleville, Ont.-Agrico Canada Ltd./Limitee has signed a deal that will transfer 50 percent of its Belleville Farm Centre to joint venture partner Northumberland Grain Inc., Brighton, Ont. Effective, Jan. 4, Northumberland assumed management of the farm center, which has been operated by Agrico since 1967. Customers will gain access to Northumberland’s elevator and marketing services. The location will also have increased access to custom application services and the latest agronomic technology. Barry Cooper, who will continue as Belleville’s manager, said the only visible change will be the name. Agrico said the move is one more step in its goal of joint venturing all company-owned farm centers.
