Blair’s was the first in the region to import bulk agricultural fertilizers into Saskatchewan in 1948.
We were at the forefront of shepherding direct seeding technology in the 1980s.
Blair’s was one of the most progressive independent ag retailers in western Canada to help farmers successfully adopt novel trait canola varieties and systems.
Blair’s was one of the first to promote a preharvest application of glyphosate for the enhanced control of perennial weeds.
Blair’s was one of the first to pioneer the application of chemtrition.

As farmers rise to the challenge of feeding 9.7 billion mouths by 2050, we will need solutions, not just products.

Consider these new ag technologies (below), emerging to increase your productivity. Blair’s hallmark of being the first with new ideas and technologies is your obvious choice to capitalize on these new technologies:

Machine Learning

Training computers to identify weeds, diseases and other agronomic conditions accelerates automated field diagnostics. Sentera is one company already doing this commercially.

Regenerative Agriculture

Blair’s is proud to add regenerative agriculture products to our portfolio. Our goal is to continue to work with our customers to help them be more productive, efficient, sustainable and profitable. By providing targeted, reputable solutions to regenerative and organic agriculture growers, along with insightful agronomic advice, we believe we can help growers in the regenerative and organic production systems be more sustainable as well. We are also proud to announce that we are the exclusive distributor for Agriculture Solutions Inc. (AGSOL) products in Saskatchewan. For more information contact s tu@blairs.ag.

Aerial Imagery

UAV in-season imagery, plus satellite imagery, reveal how your crop’s doing while we can still make adjustments; and how global crops are doing in the aggregate, for marketing insight.

Autonomous Equipment

Robotic autonomous equipment, cultivators and sprayers. More targeted autonomous weed control and precision-fertility technologies are already in test mode. Automation will free you to spend more time planning.

CRISPR

This easier way to edit genes and heredity opens new horizons for beneficial resistance to pests, disease; the sky's almost the limit. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, a streamlined way to add and delete genetic traits.

Already, Blairs.Ag Cattle Company is a globally ranked source of top-quality beef genetics.

The Cloud

Ag data in the cloud allows you to update or check your records anywhere, anytime. Make informed decisions by consulting or updating your always-updated cost of production, for example.

Internet Of Things. Sensors in your soils, in engines, at livestock gates, and in grain bins, for example, provide feedback wirelessly without human presence.

Tame Risk with Customized Solutions

We offer practical and profitable solutions based on listening, crafted with technology and experience -- Blair’s is on our fourth generation of providing solutions, not just products. Information and technology are valuable tools to anticipate and solve problems, reduce risk and identify opportunities particular to your situation. Come to us with your questions.
