OAK BLUFF, Manitoba – August 17th, 2015 – Ag Growth International’s (AGI) new Innovation Centre opened its doors in late July and offers their Research & Development team a collaborative environment with limited distractions allowing the team to develop and test cutting edge technology to better serve the agricultural industry in North America and the world. Located in Oak Bluff, Manitoba, the new facility offers over 12,500 square feet of office, shop and storage space and is perfectly situated to be less than a thirty minute drive from the AGI main office and local divisions such as Westeel, Westfield and AGI Metal Fab.
