Westview Co-op is expanding with the purchase of Tri West Agro near Drumheller and will officially become part of Westview Co-op on October 1.
Tri West Agro’s crop input location offers customers custom granular fertilizer blending, seed, and crop supplies. Other services offered include soil sampling and agronomic advice. ‘ “We believe in investing locally and we appreciate this opportunity to expand our commodity offering and serve even more members and guests in our agriculture community,” said Westview Co-op general manager Dennis Laing in a press release.
The acquisition is also a sign of how the network of services and support is expanding for Co-op members. In September 2017, Federated Co-operatives Limited opened by investing $75 million in to new fertilizer terminals so that it could better distribute fertilizer to local Co-ops and agricultural producers.
Westview Co-op has locations in and near Carstairs, Drumheller, Eagle Hill, Linden, Olds, and Sundre.
