Evergreen Farm & Garden acquired by Green Tractors

Apr 04, 2022

Acquisition takes effect on April 11, 2022.

As of April 11, 2022, the Orono, Ontario-located Evergreen Farm & Garden will be joining the Green Tractors Inc. dealer network.

Green Tractors is a full-service John Deere dealership network, now with nine locations across southern, central and eastern Ontario. It offers a full lineup of John Deere agricultural, commercial, worksite, residential, and golf & turf equipment, as well as many other fine equipment lines to meet its clients’ needs.
Evergreen Farm & Garden has been serving customers since 1989 in the Durham region—providing ag, commercial and residential consumer products and services.

For Green Tractors, the Orono-located shop will round out the company’s presence in the Durham area, and will continue to offer all John Deere products as well as welcoming the Compact Construction Equipment line.

The combination of Green Tractors’ strong presence in the agricultural, commercial and municipal markets along with Evergreen’s rich community commitment and experience, will, the company hopes, provide better support through increased product and service specialization and larger parts and equipment inventories.

Video: Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

After being unavailable in 2024 due to registration issues, dicamba products are returning for Georgia farmers this growing season — but under strict new conditions.

In this report from Tifton, Extension Weed Specialist Stanley Culpepper explains the updated EPA ruling, including new application limits, mandatory training requirements, and the need for a restricted use pesticide license. Among the key changes: a cap of two ½-pound applications per year and the required use of an approved volatility reduction agent with every application.

For Georgia cotton producers, the ruling is significant. According to Taylor Sills with the Georgia Cotton Commission, the vast majority of cotton planted in the state carries the dicamba-tolerant trait — meaning farmers had been paying for technology they couldn’t use.

While environmental groups have expressed concerns over spray drift, Georgia growers have reduced off-target pesticide movement by more than 91% over the past decade. Still, this two-year registration period will come with increased scrutiny, making stewardship and compliance more important than ever.
