Calhoun Super Structure Ltd. is proud to announce its ranking of No. 342 on The Globe and Mail’s 2024 Report on Business magazine's list of Canada’s Top Growing Companies.

This achievement marks the third consecutive year that Calhoun has made this prestigious ranking, which celebrates innovative businesses across Canada.

Calhoun is well-known to many farmers for its engineered fabric structures with hot-dipped galvanized steel frames provide storage for everything from fertilizer to equipment and hay to livestock.

The ranking is based on three-year revenue growth, and Calhoun achieved an impressive growth rate of 96%. This recognition highlights the company's commitment to meeting the diverse needs of its clients in various industries, including aviation and agriculture.

Dan Dalzell, the Director of Sales and Operations at Calhoun, expressed his gratitude for the recognition. “It’s a privilege to be named among Canada’s Top Growing Companies for the third year in a row,” he said. “Our sustained growth is a testament to our strong dealer network, dedicated team, and strategic expansions. I’m excited about the future and confident that Calhoun will continue to achieve significant milestones.”

The Top Growing Companies program was launched in 2019 to honour Canadian businesses that demonstrate innovation and growth. To qualify for the ranking, companies must complete an in-depth application and meet specific revenue requirements. This year, 417 companies were recognized for their achievements.

Dawn Calleja, Editor of Report on Business magazine, noted the significance of the ranking, stating, “Our annual ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies reflects the sector-spanning ingenuity of this country’s entrepreneurs and corporate leaders. It’s important to tell their stories to inspire the next generation.”

Andrew Saunders, CEO of The Globe and Mail, also congratulated this year’s winners, highlighting their exceptional growth and resilience in facing business challenges.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
