Started 73 years ago, Blair’s provides innovative crop input as well as animal nutrition products and services to local area farmers. Ron Healey, FCL vice-president of agriculture and consumer business, said these locations will continue to run in their current form under the same name, brand and staff without inclusion of co-op membership “Blair’s business will continue to run the way it is now. For farm customers, they won’t see any difference. It will be business as usual at Blair’s,” Healey said. “In the longer term, there is a possibility that farmers will see perhaps some additional products and services, some programs made available by the result of this partnership.”
