Almost a century ago, the first bag of fertilizer was sold
in Ontario. That first bag was sold by a representative of American Agricultural
Chemicals Limited to a farmer in Middlesex County's West Williams Township.
In 1931, the company received letters of patent in Canada and a new company,
Agricultural Chemicals Ltd., was formed. M.J. Daignault was appointed
sales manager and led the company through the Great Depression, Second
World War and the euphoric 1950s. Eventually, the company name changed
to Agrico Canada Limited/Limitée and in 1985 the shares were purchased
by a holding company under the stewardship of a group of Canadians led
by R.L. Whitelaw.
Agrico Canada Limited/Limitée has withstood the tests of
time and continues to be one of the foremost fertilizer suppliers in Canada.
The Company's statement of purpose recognizes the past and looks toward
the future as Agrico continues to provide top quality products and service.
Fertilizer provides the nutrients to grow a healthy crop
