Half Moon Bay, Calif.-California-based EarthRenew Inc. and Agrium Inc.’s Crop Production Services (CPS) have entered into agreements for the licensing of EarthRenew brands and the marketing and sale of EarthRenew Organic Matter Fertilizer?äó products exclusively by CPS in the Western United States. The agreement provides for the sale of products from EarthRenew’s current operating facility in Strathmore, Alberta, and the next seven facilities to be constructed in the Western U.S., for a total of eight. CPS will sell EarthRenew’s proprietary fertilizers in the organic, conventional, and turf and ornamental markets. EarthRenew says its products increase fertilizer efficiencies of either organic or synthetic nutrients for improved crop yields and productivity. The financial terms were not disclosed. “In my 30 years in the industry, I haven’t seen products like EarthRenew’s, which can improve soils and enhance crop performance, including both conventional and organic,” said CPS General Manager Bob Duckworth. Privately-held EarthRenew Chief Executive Christianne Carin said the company, founded in 1999, chose CPS because of its retail strength and in-the-field services focus.
