Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2018!
& Happy New Year
from all of us at La Grande, CPS.

It's a new year and that means a lot of things. There's a sense of a fresh start, goals and plans and dreams and high hopes. We're already lying to ourselves about losing weight and exercise. 

 For us at CPS it also means the completion of a merger of two leading, global Ag companies to create one of the largest agricultural companies in the world and we are a part of it all. Agrium and PotashCorp finalized the "merger of equals" January 1st and began operations as one entity, Nutrien, on January 2nd.  

 Here at La Grande we will still operate in local mindset with local people, local expertise, and a focus on local success for our growers. While CPS has been connected on a global scale for some time now, this means we're tapped into something on a scale the industry has never seen. It's the start of something big and that means a big future with big opportunities for our growers. It's all a pretty exciting way to start a new year. 

 Have a talk with your CPS Fieldman if you have any questions and welcome to the future!

Fall herbicides are going out on perennial grass stands and new plantings of winter crops are going into freshly tilled ground. The CPS Team in La Grande is hard at work scouting fields, delivering supplies, and applying product. It's Fall in the Grande Ronde Valley. Talk with your CPS Fieldman about specialized Crop Programs for your farm. CPS La Grande - Profit from our experience.

Introducing Nutrien Ag Solutions

Image
Name changes can be an exciting time for a company, especially when it reinforces our global presence. Back in January we announced the completed merger between Agrium (our long-time parent company) and Potash Corp to form Nutrien, the world's largest agricultural inputs company .  Over the last few months the upper levels of Nutrien have been hard at work to capitalize on synergies brought on through the merger of two large and successful companies. One of the ways to accomplish that goal is rebranding the retail locations around the world. In the U.S. we have been known as Crop Production Services but South America and Australia had different names for the grower-facing business. Beginning July 1st all retail locations around the world began the rebranding process to become Nutrien Ag Solutions .  For those of us who have been with the company a number of years, this isn't the first renaming we've been through. That's some of the excitement; this
