What happens at the farm during the winter season?

Winter might seem like a quiet season on our farms, but at Lennard Ag Co., it’s a critical time that sets the foundation for the next growing season. Here’s a look at what happens on our farm during the colder months.

Climate-Controlled Storage: One of our key winter priorities is ensuring our potatoes remain fresh and of the highest quality. Our climate-controlled storage facilities maintain optimal conditions, protecting our harvest from the harsh winter weather while preserving taste and texture. This allows us to provide clients with premium potatoes year-round.

Equipment Maintenance: Winter offers the opportunity to inspect, service, and upgrade our equipment. From precision agricultural tools to our dedicated trucking fleet, we make sure everything is in top condition for the demands of spring planting and harvest. Proper maintenance helps us maintain the bruise-free handling techniques our clients depend on.

Strategic Planning: Winter is also a time for reflection and planning. We analyze data from the previous season, identify areas for improvement, and implement new strategies to maximize quality and efficiency. This includes leveraging our web-based quality control systems and logistics software to refine our processes.

Seed Selection and Preparation: The foundation of our quality begins with the best seeds. During the winter, we carefully evaluate and prepare seed stock to ensure it’s ready for planting as soon as the season begins. Every decision, from seed to soil preparation, adheres to the rigorous standards required for our GlobalG.A.P. certification.

Commitment to Service: Even in winter, our dedication to service never takes a break. We provide real-time shipment updates, maintain 24/7 product support, and ensure on-time deliveries. Our clients rely on us to deliver excellence, no matter the season.

Winter at Lennard Ag Co. is far from idle. It’s a season of preparation, precision, and commitment - all focused on maintaining our high standards and ensuring a successful year ahead.
