In an effort to help growers deal with ever-increasing labor expenses, JSC Agricultural Supply is partnering with the Eco Trellis brand to offer customers a suite of cost effective and innovative products in the USA
July 12, 2018, Bakersfield, CA – With an ongoing focus on providing customers with a wide variety of solutions to the agriculture industry, JSC Agricultural Supply has expanded its product line to include Eco Trellis, a revolutionary trellising system based in New Zealand. The company is now Eco Trellis’ exclusive distributor in the United States, giving customers across the nation access to the brand’s sustainable and cost-competitive trellis products. JSC currently manufactures an extensive line of stakes in-house and is excited to now offer Eco Trellis’ posts as part of this line-up.
Due to a shortage of labor and an increase in labor costs, JSC Agricultural Supply recognizes that growers are continually seeking newer, more efficient methods for their vineyard operations in order to maintain productivity. Specifically designed to work with mechanical pruning options, including Klima technology, Eco Trellis offers them a complete vineyard trellising system that uses posts, clips, and strainers appropriate to the site location.
With the exclusive partnership between JSC Agricultural Supply and Eco Trellis, growers both large and small can take advantage of the significant labor-saving opportunities offered by the Klima machine pruning system. Eco Trellis’s suite of products includes the Eco Sleeve, a retrofit component for existing T-post trellises in the USA. This sleeve is designed to make a grower’s current trellis system compatible with the Klima system, which provides quality mechanical pruning at a fraction of the price and effort associated with manual methods.
JSC and Eco Trellis are already collaborating on crafting solutions to take advantage of other mechanical solutions for table grape growers with trials currently in the works. Other trellis solutions available from Eco Trellis through JSC Agricultural Supply are tree stakes, berry trellising, kiwi trellising, cherry trellising, and apple trellising, enhancing JSC’s product line of agricultural products available to all types of growers.
By partnering with the Eco Trellis brand, JSC Agricultural Supply makes a forward leap in their goal to provide customers with exclusive solutions that will better meet their agricultural needs. “This product perfectly aligns with our product line, and we are excited to add this brand of products because it is technology-driven and addresses a problem that growers have been facing for the last several years (increasing labor costs),” stated Dan Drake, JSC Agricultural Supply’s Vice President.
