A wide view of soil fumigation in action in Santa Maria.

This strawberry field is undergoing soil fumigation by TriCal, Inc., with the tractor working across the field and broadcast film covering the treated area behind it. The wide perspective highlights the scale of the soil fumigation operation and the work that goes into preparing the field for the next strawberry crop.

TriCal is proud to support growers throughout Santa Maria and the surrounding agricultural community with reliable soil fumigation services.

TriCal was founded in 1961 by three young men - Richard Storkan, Jerry Hanes, and Robert McCaslin, who were on a mission to carry out commercial soil fumigation by specialized methods.

"We are farm consultants, helping growers to get the greatest return on investment for their crop while helping them navigate the regulations and use requirements. We are custom applicators so we have hands-on, direct field experience. We provide field support and technicians. Just like my father (TriCal Co-Founder & President) said in 1963, 'we have proved the worth of these methods.' We work hand in hand with growers so they can reap the benefits."

- Dean Storkan, TriCal President
