About Calamco
Calamco: A Cooperative of Grower-Members and Industry Partners
Calamco is a California-based cooperative that has been serving the agricultural industry since 1957. With approximately 1500 grower-members from throughout California, as well as fertilizer dealers and their industry partner, the J.R. Simplot Company, Calamco has become a trusted name in the agricultural community.
The cooperative was founded with the goal of providing its members with access to high-quality products and services at competitive prices. Over the years, Calamco has expanded its offerings to include a wide range of products and services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of its members.
One of Calamco's key strengths is its ability to leverage the collective buying power of its members. By pooling their resources together, members are able to negotiate better prices on everything from fertilizers and pesticides to equipment and supplies.
In addition to providing access to affordable products, Calamco also offers a range of value-added services designed to help growers maximize their yields while minimizing costs. These services include soil testing, crop consulting, pest management advice, and more.
Another benefit of being a member of Calamco is access to educational resources and training programs. The cooperative regularly hosts workshops and seminars on topics such as irrigation management, soil health, pest control strategies, and more.
Perhaps one of the most significant benefits for shareholders is that they have an ownership stake in Calamco itself. This means that they are entitled to share in any profits generated by the cooperative each year through dividends or other distributions.
Overall, there are many reasons why growers choose Calamco as their preferred supplier for agricultural inputs and services. From competitive pricing on high-quality products to expert advice from experienced professionals who understand local growing conditions intimately - there's no doubt that this cooperative offers tremendous value for anyone involved in agriculture in California or beyond!
