"At Truly Green Farms, we work to maintain a very healthy environment for the plants. In the clean out period, it’s critical that we have machines that are reliable. Whether it is the BioChopper that helps remove all the plant material or the Aquajet for cleaning the greenhouse, it is very important that we can rely on the equipment. We have been using these machines for a while now and we definitely see the value in them,” says Greg Devries of Truly Green Farms, Chatham, Ontario, Canada.

"Truly Green Farms was born with plans to construct a 90-acre state of the art greenhouse operation devoted to grow tomatoes. We searched out something that would be unique and innovative. Land was secured across the road from GreenField Global. We use their waste heat and CO2 which makes Truly Green Farms a very innovative and environmentally sustainable operation. In 2012 we built the first phase of 22 and a half acres and in 2021 we build our final phase for making this project now complete."

Save time and money
Crop rotation is often a hectic period in which many different operations are carried out. A number of crop rotation activities, such as removing the crop, shredding the crop, removing foil, cleaning the greenhouse and disinfecting the greenhouse can be done with machines. These machines make the work a lot less labour-intensive, improves efficiency, saves time and in the end money. Royal Brinkman provides a complete package for the grower with the right products, knowledge and advice during crop rotation from ripening of the plant to planting a new crop. ”

BioChopper
Arie Alblas, specialist at Royal Brinkman, explains that crop removal a labor-intensive and physically demanding step in the crop rotation process is. “The BioChopper, a crop shredder for organic material, is the most popular product for speeding up crop rotation, because this shredder makes the biggest impact on time and labor savings.
There are four variants of the bio chopper available, but which crop shredder suits your company the best depends on a number of factors, including the capacity and power of the crop shredders, the size of the crop, your budget and the size of the company. Here at Truly Green Farms they use the Super Chopper Compact which is ideal for shredding of heavy vegetable crops. The crop volume is reduced to about 20 percent of the original volume.”
