Seymour Ag Supplies was established in 2012 as a Local Rural Independent business by Rob and Jeanette Richardson.
The business began at premises in High Street, Seymour and grew steadily, moving to the present location of 18 Emily Street, Seymour, where the business could expand and better serve the needs of our growing customer base.
Seymour Ag Supplies has access to the National Rural Independents (NRI) buying group offering a wide range of products and competitive pricing, which in turn can be passed on to our customers.
As an independent rural business, we are committed to providing a level of service to our customers which allows their business to grow and succeed.

Rob's working life began at Yanco Rice Mills, then on to gain valuable experience and knowledge in the area of Hybrid Wheat with an American company, Dekalb Shand.
Rob's career in Victoria began in Shepparton with Ciba-Geigy developing his knowledge both of Agricultural Chemicals and Animal Health products used on the farm.
Moving to Melbourne eventually as his career continued within the Agricultural Industry did not keep him from returning to his country roots. Rob serviced Victoria in the areas of Cropping, Pastures and Animal Health on his regular travels, eventually buying his own farm in the year 2000. He combined his interest in Forestry with his knowledge of sheep farming to establish a Small Timber Sugar Gum plantation with sheep grazing. Only recently did Rob and Jeanette sell their farm, having been satisfied with 20 years of successful management.
Establishing Seymour Ag Supplies has allowed Rob to enjoy being part of a farming community and share his knowledge and experience with others, which he has found extremely rewarding.
