Saskatoon - A Virden business, Redfern Farm Services, has been named Retailer of the Year by the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers (CAAR).
The Retailer of the Year Award was established in 2008 and recognizes one CAAR member that went above and beyond to serve its customers.
Redfern Farm Services is known as a leader in adopting new technology. Whether it is the newest hybrid seed technology or adoption of variable rate, mapping and data management, they offer it.
The Virden location offers their customers access to Farmers Edge and Decisive Farming VRA Services as part of their agronomy package.
Since joining Redfern Farm Services in 2015, manager Lane Wanless has seen his location grow rapidly, adding both staff and physical space to the Virden location, and 2018 will be no exception.
This summer, the team is looking forward to upgrades to the fertilizer plant, which will increase both capacity and speed of loading.
Four other Canadian agri-retailers were honoured at the 11th annual CAAR awards banquet in Saskatoon Feb. 14.
The awards recognize agri-retailers in five categories: 4R Nutrient Stewardship Retailer of the Year, Agronomist of the Year, the Chairman’s Award, Retailer of the Year, and the Retailer Hall of Fame Award.
