Superb Agriculture
A long history of quality agricultural production
When the Asessippi Parkland was first settled in the late 1800s it quickly gained a reputation for producing abundant quality crops, a reputation that remains to this day. The area around Inglis is known as the “Barley Capital of Canada” and the RM of Russell is known as “Banner County” because of the frequency of wins at the Winnipeg exhibition for the quality of its exhibits.
The combination of rich black chernozem soils, abundant moisture, long sunny warm days and cool moist nights produce some of the best wheat, oats, barley, flax and forage crops in the world.
A Strong Diverse Agricultural Base Assures Efficient Production
The Asessippi Parkland region is ideal for value-added agricultural production as value-added agricultural processors are increasingly seeking to locate their operations close to the source of raw materials to maximize quality and minimize transportation costs.
But, proximity is only one consideration. Available, affordable industrial land or buildings, convenient transportation, a quality labour force, economical energy supplies and modern communications, are also important.
Asessippi Parkland has the resources and infrastructure to meet your needs with existing well-established value-added processors that demonstrate success.
