Based in Bow Island, Alberta, Lynn Thacker Ag. Corp. (LTAC) is a family owned
business with a background of several generations and over 80 years experience
in the agriculture industry. Comprised of Lynn Thacker, his wife Ute, and his
son Clint, LTAC specializes in the production and distillation of various high
quality essential oils, including Spearmint, Dill, Catnip, and French Tarragon.
In addition, LTAC is North America’s largest producer of commercial Catnip herb,
and the major supplier to North America’s Catnip toy industry. LTAC also
produces various commercial and seed grains.
History:
LTAC’s origins began with its predecessor company, George Thacker Sons (GTS), of
which LTAC was an owner. GTS was a partnership of three brothers, Lynn, Jim, and
Dale Thacker, who had taken over the family operation, consisting primarily of
traditional grain crops . GTS’s utilization of progressive agricultural methods,
extensive industry research, and the ever-present threat of unstable grain
prices, led to its introduction to essential oil crops. Starting with only a few
acres and a small, portable extraction facility, GTS grew its essential oil
operation for almost two decades into a major North American supplier with a
state of the art oil extraction facility. In January of 2007, GTS was dissolved
and sold to Lynn Thacker Ag. Corp. and Dale Thacker Specialty Crops.
Lynn Thacker is the president of LTAC, and along with his son Clint, continues
on with his previous role in GTS as the business and field operations manager. LTAC
has taken over a majority of the existing facilities and continues to produce
the entire product line previously offered by GTS. |
