In around 1988/ 89 Primac purchased the fertilizer business of McClarty Bros in Tolga, which became Primac Tolga. The Tolga Branch was a major fertiliser and chemical outlet for the cropping industry, especially peanuts on the Atherton tablelands. They then went on to manufacture a dry stock feed lick branded Primix which was sold throughout northern Qld and the Northern Territory.
