Cargill AgHorizons builds crop inputs facility in Carberry

October 1, 2002

Carberry, MB - Cargill AgHorizons is pleased to announce that construction has begun on a $1.5 million full service crop inputs facility.

The facility, located on a 17-acre site, is being built approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of Cargill's existing facility in Carberry. The move will allow the crop inputs business to reposition itself in a better location to serve its farmer customer base. The business is set to open in spring 2003.

"This enhanced facility will allow us to improve the level of service we offer to farmers in the area. We appreciate the input our customers have given us in making this decision and letting us know what they need from us," said Lars Petersen, Facility Manager, Cargill AgHorizons in Carberry.

In addition to Cargill's existing products and services, the new facility will carry a variety of seed and crop protection products along with a full line of custom application equipment. The expanded business will also offer liquid and dry fertilizer products and a high capacity blending system.

Cargill will continue to offer fertilizer delivery and custom application, as well as agronomy and grain marketing services for producers.

Cargill AgHorizons operates grain handling and crop inputs facilities across the Prairies and works in partnership with producers to develop grain-marketing solutions.
