A Proud History of Innovating Agriculture in Canada
Continual Product and Service Improvement is a Core Value.
Proudly Canadian Owned and Operated For Over 20 Years
1909 is Canadian owned and operated, with its head office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and business reps located across Canada. While most manufacturers return their profits to countries outside of Canada, the money that farmers spend on 1909 products and services is recycled back into the Canadian economy for investment in new products, services and solutions that benefit Canadian farmers and the agricultural industry in general.
Empowering Canadian Farmers Through High-standards, High-performance and Leading Innovation
Our priority is to bring the highest quality products to Canadian farmers at affordable prices. Over the past 20 years, 1909 and its affiliates have invested over $20 million in the development and registration of over 100 crop protection products. 1909 now has one of the largest and most complete crop protection portfolios in Canada. We are proud to save farmers millions of dollars every year on their crop input purchases. 1909 continues to develop new products and expects to bring over 20 new products to market in the next few years.
High Production Standards
Each of 1909's crop protection products must go through the same rigorous registration process as the major brand manufacturers. They must also meet the same high standards of product quality and performance. All 1909 products must also meet or exceed quality assurance protocols prior to leaving the manufacturing facility and receive further inspection upon arrival in Canada before being packaged and sold.
Made-in-Canada Performance
Canadian farmers face unique production challenges that require unique solutions. We have worked alongside our farmers to develop over 25 unique crop protection solutions that specifically meet the challenges on Canadian farms. We have also developed our first line of crop nutrition products specifically designed for Canada’s environment and soil zones as well as the nutritional requirements of Canadian crops.
Leader in Ag Innovation
1909 has expanded product development capabilities through our in-house Innovation team. This will greatly increase our ability to test and evaluate new concepts, technologies, and products at our research sites across Western Canada. We have developed over 100 products in the previous years, and have some new best-of-the-line products in the pipeline.
From Our Warehouse Direct to Your Farm Gate
1909 delivers crop protection products from our Saskatoon warehouse directly to the farm gate across Western Canada. With more than 68,000 square feet of warehouse space, a dedicated logistics team and a delivery fleet equipped to handle urgent requests, our distribution system helps farmers access the products they need throughout the growing season.
Keeping More Money in the Pockets of Canadian Farmers
Direct delivery reduces additional handling and third-party warehousing costs while helping us respond when weather, crop restrictions or other in-season developments require a change in plans. For the farmer, that means cost savings, convenient delivery to the farm gate and greater flexibility to keep fieldwork moving when application windows are tight.
