Richardson International now has a research farm in Saskatchewan.

Curt Vossen, President and CEO of Richardson,  says the Bennett Research Farm is located 10 kilometres South of Regina along Highway 33.

Vossen says the 440 acre site is ideal for their work which will put the latest seed varieties, crop input products and equipment to the test:

"Seeing that technology laid out on a scale that's more in keeping with than what they would have at their own farms. So, I think we've got this year 167 plots. They're in four general blocks. Two of them are dedicated to cereals, one to oil seed and one to pulses," he said.

The first crop was planted this spring and Bennett Farm will host tours throughout the growing season.
