Agrium Moves To Colorado

Agrium Moves To Colorado. I’m Greg Martin with Colorado Ag Today.

Agrium is a global leader in agricultural products and services, who help growers increase crop yields sustainably which helps to feed a rapidly growing population.

GRAY: Agrium Wholesale is planning to open an 18,000 square foot agricultural research facility in Greely where they also have operations. A similar operation in Alabama is being closed. Agrium has offices in Loveland and in Greeley.

MARTIN: With the move will come some new jobs in the area including 12 “highly technical” positions. Some of those degreed position will be filled by transplants from the Alabama site while others will be new hires. The new facility will be located in the Highpointe Business Park in west Greeley.

GRAY: The company hopes to have the new facility up and ready by sometime in March of 2016.

MARTIN: According to their website Agrium’s primary end consumer for our Wholesale products is the agriculture market — in particular, growers of grains, oilseeds and other crops who want to enhance crop yields and quality. Agricultural buyers account for about 86 percent of their Wholesale sales. They have offices around the world including Canada and Australia. Their European headquarters are in Belgium with additional offices in UK, Italy, Romania and Bulgaria.

And that’s Colorado Ag Today. I’m Greg Martin, thanks for listening on the Ag Information Network of the West.
