ADM Expands Farm-Direct/Wholesale Sales in Central Canada
Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) announced on June 18 that it has signed an exclusive fertilizer handling and storage agreement with Allegiant Bulk Solutions, utilizing a 5,000 mt warehouse in Yorkton, Sask. The warehouse will be operational immediately, and is part of ADM’s effort to expanding its direct-to-farmer and wholesale fertilizer offerings to central Canadian customers.
“We are proud to expand our fertilizer offerings in Canada, allowing us to now serve farmers and wholesalers in Yorkton and the surrounding areas,” said Scott Nagel, president of ADM-Benson Quinn, a division of ADM. “ADM offers customers a level of service, buying options, and market information that very few other fertilizer providers can match. We will be able to offer competitive pricing, including future pricing opportunities for the next application periods. We’re excited to continue our expansion in this market, and look forward to helping meet the needs of farmers and dealers across the region.”
Last summer (GM June 23, 2017), ADM announced that it had signed an exclusive long-term agreement to lease a 20,000 mt warehouse at the new Port Lajord complex in Saskatchewan as part of its expansion in central Canada. ADM introduced its direct-to-farm sales program in the U.S. in the summer of 2016 (GM Sept. 2, 2016).
