DynAgra, an independent ag retailer in southern Alberta, has been named retailer of the year by the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers.
The award demonstrates excellence in customer service and satisfaction, community and industry leadership, business innovation, efficiency and safety.
DynAgra general manager Tasha Schmaltz said in a news release the company has introduced many innovations, including being one of the first independent retailers to have a full-time staff agronomist.
The company also worked with Valmar Industries to create a prototype twin bin floater.
“That innovation was instrumental in the 2004 development of DynAgra VRT,” Schmaltz said, which helped take precision farming to a new level.
The company also developed a web-based program called My Farm Manager to help growers manage data.
The family-based business has locations in Beiseker, Carseland, Rolling Hills and Standard.
DynAgra VRT is sold in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
