CROPCO OPENS
FOR BUSINESS
A new crop consulting firni opened
its doors last month near Centralia on
Highway4. The company, CROPCO, is
marketing its services through a system
of local franchise offices owned and
operated independently.
At present, Fredrich Suhr is operat-
ing a CROPCO office in Tiverton
(Bruce County) and Eric Devlaeminck
works from his home office in Centralia
in the areas of north Middlesex and
south Huron.
Crop consulting, says CROPCO
agronomist John Beardsley, is another
Zink in the chain between researchers,
government extension personnel, agri-
cultural producers, and other agribusi-
nesses.
"Today's low commodity prices
mean that a producer must maximize his
efficiency to remain competitive,"
Beardsley says, adding that a crop con-
sultant is to crop management what a
veterinarian is to animal health or an
accountant to farm finance.
Minister of Agriculture Jack Riddell
officially opens CROPCO. Com-
pany president Erica Schuster and
agronomist John Beardsley look on.

company, contact John Beardsley at
