J.R. Simplot continues its expansion in the agribusiness sector with another acquisition. This time Simplot acquired Scootney Springs Seed. The acquisition of Scootney Springs Seed, a production and seed-cleaning facility near Othello, Wash. was announced earlier in January.
The facility includes a warehousing location and seed cleaning operations, and will be part of Jacklin Seed, a subsidiary of Simplot.
Over the next three years, this purchase will result in closing the existing Jacklin Seed facility in Post Falls, Idaho, enabling the production operations to be closer to Jacklin’s main production areas in Washington.
