Tony
Overwater
CEO
Parkland Agri Services Corp.
In 1976, after working for six years in
Alberta’s oilpatch, Tony Overwater moved
to Didsbury, Alberta to join his older
brother John, who was running a crop
spraying business called Parkland Agri
Services. In 1978 Overwater assumed
control of the company and as they say
“the rest is history”. He has two sons,
Greg and Jordan, who both work in the
company. Overwater loves agriculture,
especially the challenges of “value
adding” to agriculture. |

look at cereal grains.” |

Quality
Traits Over Agronomic

It All
Comes Down to Seed
“Offering seed advice was the best
advice we could give growers.” |

Economic Optimism

short little period of time…” |
