Our team is ready to deliver a full suite of innovative retail services in Scandia.'
About ICI
ICI was born out of the clear need for a full service, independent ag-retail business to be present in the Southern Alberta marketplace once again. With the consolidation of the sector into large national and international players, local ownership and service has been lost. Our vision is to provide an unbiased, independent and high value ag-retail service to producers in Southern Alberta.
The main ICI site is located near Barnwell, AB on Highway #3. It features a 7,350MT storage shed coupled with a high capacity blending system, liquid fertilizer site, chemical and seed storage as well as full agronomy services. This location will fully support ICI Scandia.
Our staff represent many decades of agriculture and ag-retail experience specific to Southern Alberta. The team in place continues to be excited and energized by the growth and innovation represented in agriculture.
