Agri Marche’s exceptional management
        
        
          leadership in the agriculture sector started in
        
        
          Quebec in 1913 when founder Joseph-Napo-
        
        
          leon Brochu opened his first general store in
        
        
          Saint-Henri. Close ties to agricultural produc-
        
        
          ers helped grow the company, and in 1954,
        
        
          Mr. Brochu built a mill that offered specialized
        
        
          animal feed products. In addition to producing
        
        
          grain-based animal feed today, the company
        
        
          also operates pig and poultry breeding farms,
        
        
          as well as a grain transhipment centre.
        
        
          In the early 1960s, Donald Brochu took over
        
        
          the family business from his father, and now
        
        
          the company is headed by his sons Patrice,
        
        
          Jean-Pierre, and his daughter, Guylaine. Agri
