"When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization." - Daniel Webster

Today, October 12th, TriCal Group recognizes National Farmers Day and thanks the farmers and growers whose dedication strengthens agriculture, supports our communities, and helps feed the world.

We are proud to support their work through soil health, crop protection, and production solutions for the challenges they face each season.

The future of every orchard starts here.

Amanda Hernandez | With TriCal Group Since 2016

For Amanda Hernandez, nearly a decade with TriCal Group has been defined by the people, opportunities to grow, and the ability to make a difference.

"What stands out most are the people. Every conversation offers a new perspective or insight, and that collaborative environment makes coming to work incredibly rewarding."

Amanda says she has always felt that her ideas and perspective are valued. When she identified opportunities to strengthen employee training, leadership supported her ideas and gave her the opportunity to help develop new initiatives.

She also remembers the company's response during the uncertainty of 2020, when our CEO spoke directly with employees and emphasized that the health and well-being of employees and their families would always come first.

For Amanda, that people-first approach continues to define TriCal Group today.

Her advice to anyone considering a career with TriCal Group?

"You'll be joining an organization where you're valued as a person, not just an employee. Leadership is accessible, your contributions are recognized, and there's a genuine commitment to supporting employees both professionally and personally."

Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your story and for helping make TriCal Group a place where people can build meaningful careers.
