Dale Good is manager of the Hensall branch of W.G. Thompson Ltd. He has been with the company 17 years. Thompsons expect good year in '89 In the past year W.G. Thompson Ltd., one of the largest family- owned agri-businesses in Canaria, has upgraded existing facilities at all 11 company locations. Fertilizer storage capacity has been doubled at the Hensall branch in the last 12 months, another -silo gives more storage for liquid 28 per- cent, and the acquisition of a second Tru -spread tcrragator means Hensall now has two units each for dry and liquid fertilizers. A maintenance shop was also added in 1988. Hensall manager Dale Good hopes the next upgrading item' will be a Kewanee truck hoist at the old mill. Good reports that Thompson's Pri- vate label Marathon soybeans, de- veloped for the 27 to 50 heat unit conditions locally, have "really caught on" this year. The outlook at Thompson's for 1989 is upbeat. "Last year's drought can't happen two years in a row. We have a real good fertilizer pre-payinent,- and commodity prices arc holding, compared to last year. Farmers are. optimistic, and so arc we", -Good said. . Thompson's is hosting a farm- ers' day on March.1 in the Hensall Community Centre. Jay Camp- bell will be the after-dinner speak- er.
