Fort Fairfield, Maine—Cavendish Agri Services’ new $5.7 million fertilizer plant and mixing system, which recently held its grand opening, benefits both from its key location in the heart of potato country as well as having a new high-speed blender. The facility, which will serve growers in Maine and New Brunswick, is one of the largest of this type in New England and the first to be built in Maine in decades. The company said the new blending system will dramatically reduce the time required to fill a typical 16-ton farm truck from 35 to four minutes. Cavendish Agri Services President Robert Irving said the new facility enhances the company’s ability to service the increasingly complex nutrient needs of growers with a highly efficient, 300-ton per hour plant. He said customers can count on Cavendish Agri Services more than ever to meet their need for speedy, reliable, and precise fertilizer blends, even in periods of high demand. The company has approximately 14 locations in Maine and Atlantic Canada.
