PRESS RELEASE: Grand River Agricultural Society Hosts Successful SPARK V5 Symposium
April 29, 2026 – The Grand River Agricultural Society welcomed 130 attendees to its fifth annual SPARK V5 Symposium at The GrandWay Events Centre, bringing together leaders in agriculture, technology, finance, and sustainability. The event focused on carbon-smart agricultural innovation, featuring pitch companies, expert panels, tradeshow booths, and discussions about the future of climate-focused farming solutions. V6 Agronomy was featured as a Canadian innovator in crop nutrition and soil health, recognized for its work with Trent University on an organo-mineral alternative to traditional chemical nitrogen stabilizers.
PRESS RELEASE: Fertilizer Supply Must Be Protected Amidst Trade Concerns
April 29, 2026 – A Western Producer editorial warned that fertilizer access is becoming a growing concern for Canadian farmers amid trade uncertainty, global supply disruptions, and possible protectionist measures. The editorial notes that Canada is especially vulnerable on phosphate, with much of the product used by Canadian farmers traditionally moving through U.S.-based routes. It points to V6 Agronomy and the Port of Johnstown’s new phosphate fertilizer trade corridor as one example of how Canada can diversify supply, strengthen domestic resilience, and reduce exposure to foreign infrastructure risks.
PRESS RELEASE: From Congestion to Corridor: How V6 Agronomy Is Activating a Smarter Great Lakes Trade Route
April 12, 2026 – HWY H2O featured V6 Agronomy’s work to activate a smarter Great Lakes trade corridor through the Port of Johnstown. The case study describes how V6 is aligning marine access, rail connectivity, truck service, storage capacity, and commercial demand to create a more flexible alternative to congested legacy routes. By bringing crop nutrition products inward and opening opportunities to move grain and pulses outward, V6 is helping transform the corridor into a two-way agricultural trade platform.
PRESS RELEASE: Fednav Teams Up with V6 to Move Phosphate into Great Lakes
March 20, 2026 – Splash247 reported that Canadian dry bulk shipowner Fednav has signed an agreement with V6 Agronomy to support phosphate shipments into the Great Lakes. The partnership will see Fednav handle cargoes from Europe and North Africa into the Port of Johnstown as part of V6’s broader fertilizer distribution network across Canada. The agreement strengthens V6’s marine logistics capacity while supporting a more reliable, efficient, and scalable supply chain through the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes.
PRESS RELEASE: New Phosphate Fertilizer Trade Corridor Planned
March 9, 2026 – The Western Producer reported on V6 Agronomy’s development of the Odyssey Terminal, a new marine fertilizer terminal at the Port of Johnstown on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The article explains that the phased project will begin with a 20,000-tonne fertilizer storage building, followed by added winter rail-loading capacity and a future potash export facility. By sourcing phosphate from North Africa and Europe and distributing it across Western Canada, V6 aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based supply routes and improve access to critical crop nutrients.
PRESS RELEASE: East-West Exchange: New Ontario Shipping Terminal Has Prairie Connection
March 2, 2026 – GrainsWest highlighted V6 Agronomy’s Odyssey Terminal project at the Port of Johnstown, describing it as Canada’s first low-carbon, enhanced efficiency fertilizer and commercial phosphate fertilizer terminal. The article outlines how the project will connect Prairie commodities moving east by rail with phosphate and specialty fertilizers moving west, creating a Canadian-controlled marine-rail trade corridor. With expanded storage, improved railcar utilization, and access to Eastern Canadian and global markets, the project is positioned as a major step toward stronger food security and agricultural supply chain resilience.
PRESS RELEASE: Eastern Ontario Reopens a Strategic Agricultural Gateway After 30 Years
December 1, 2025 – Eastern Ontario has reopened a key agricultural gateway with the arrival of the bulk vessel Federal Montreal at the Port of Johnstown, the region’s first bulk fertilizer ship in nearly 30 years. Led by V6 Agronomy in partnership with the Port of Johnstown, the project reactivates a modern Prairie-to-Seaway marine-rail corridor that links inbound fertilizers with outbound grain and other agri-products. The Canadian-controlled route is designed to strengthen national food security, improve supply chain resilience, and expand global market access for Western Canadian producers.
PRESS RELEASE: Canada's Fertilizer Future Breaks Ground at Port of Johnstown
July 29, 2025 – Shovels hit the ground in the Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal (TWPEC), marking the official launch of Canada’s first low- carbon, enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEF’s) and commercial phosphate fertilizer terminal. The project – led by V6 Agronomy in partnership with the Port of Johnstown – is a catalytic step toward food security, climate-smart trade, and national supply chain sovereignty.
PRESS RELEASE: Port of Johnstown and V6 Agronomy Launch Long-Term Partnership to Strengthen Canada's Agricultural Supply Chain
May 9, 2025 – New partnership brings a dependable supply of enhanced efficiency and phosphate fertilizers to Canadian farmers while strengthening local jobs, rail logistics, EU and MENA-bound exports (European Union and Middle East North Africa) of high value prairie grains.
PRESS RELEASE: Trent Researchers Partner with V6 Agronomy to Advance Next-Generation Fertilizers
September 12, 2023 – Fertilizers are essential to feeding a growing population, and fertilizer innovation holds the key to ensuring healthier soil, fewer emissions, and better crops. A new research project at Trent pairs the expertise of Dr. Huy Dang’s environmental chemistry lab with Dr. Karen Thompson’s soil microbiology and agricultural soil health lab, along with industry partner V6 Agronomy, a Canadian fertilizer company specializing in innovative fertilizer solutions.
This collaboration has the potential to revolutionize the way Canadian farmers…
