Maximizing Crop Yields - How Our Agricultural Services Can Help Farmers in Calgary

You might be wrestling with the whims of the weather or battling the endless brigade of pests, but as a Calgary farmer, you know you can’t do it all alone. The secret sauce to a bountiful harvest is most definitely hard work, but it’s also smart support.

That’s where Green Drop’s Agricultural Services comes in. We’re not just another service provider but a growth partner who’s been in the game long enough to know its ins and outs. With our deep agricultural roots and a knack for nurturing, our team is here to help you push the boundaries of what your fields can yield.

Green Drop’s Agricultural Roots

Green Drop's journey in agriculture stretches back to humble beginnings at Val Vista Ranch, where early lessons in soil health and plant care laid the foundation for a legacy of agricultural excellence. Over the decades, Green Drop has been at the forefront of agricultural innovation.

The 1970s marked a pivotal turn with the adoption of liquid fertilizer technology, revolutionizing nutrient delivery to crops across Western Canada. This leap not only enhanced crop yields but also set new standards in precision and efficiency.

As technology evolved, so did our processes. Embracing the digital age, we’ve integrated AI-driven precision agriculture, further tailoring our approach to meet the specific needs of each farm. This high-tech strategy ensures that every seed and soil benefits from a bespoke nutrient strategy, optimizing growth conditions and maximizing yield potentials.

Today, Green Drop's deep agricultural roots continue to influence our broad range of services, from lawn care to tree maintenance, proving that a strong legacy can lead to innovative solutions.
