The Prince Albert Co-op’s Agro Centres offer a full line of agricultural supplies and services including fertilizer, chemical and seed. Each centre has one or more agronomist’s on staff that can help give local farmers and producers insights into growing trends and concerns. They carry a full line of Meridian, Westeel and Behlin bin products and they offer various financing options.

“We are here as a support system for the growers in the area,” said Lauren Cromartie, livestock and crop input specialist with Prince Albert Co-op. “The one thing that is really unique about our system is our team aspect. We have six Ag retail locations in the area and four of them are in different communities, three serving the PA area and one in Kinistino, one in Canwood and one Shellbrook. So we have a pretty large spectrum geographically wise.”
