AGI/Farmobile Joins America’s Conservation Ag Movement

Lenexa, Kan., (November 17, 2021) — AGI (Ag Growth International) along with its Farmobile data brand is the latest Founding Partner to join America’s Conservation Ag Movement (ACAM), a public-private partnership and program of Trust In FoodTM, Farm Journal’s social impact division.

With more than 160 years of combined history, AGI operates on six continents providing planning, engineering and manufacturing services in storage, handling, structural, processing and technology across five platforms — seed, fertilizer, grain, feed and food — for farm and commercial applications. Farmobile, part of the AGI family of brands, is the leader in collecting live agronomic and machine data from a mixed fleet of farm and ag retail equipment so it can be easily viewed, shared and streamed into other software systems.

“As a global company that serves a broad cross-section of food and agriculture, we recognize the importance of driving innovation to support farmers and other leaders across the agri-food value chain in a way that is sustainable and best manages precious natural resources including soil, water and habitat,” said David Postill, senior vice president marketing and customer experience, AGI. “We’re proud to join America’s Conservation Ag Movement as a Founding Partner and support farmers across the U.S. on their sustainability journey while raising the profile of modern technologies and innovations like AGI’s Farmobile and SureTrack solutions that help producers and their trusted advisers quantify environmental stewardship and unlock new economic opportunities.”

Greater integration of data and technology on U.S. agricultural operations can help producers tell the story of their stewardship while identifying new ways to manage resources, lower environmental impact and participate in emerging opportunities such as ecosystem services markets. Spotlighting solutions that can help more farmers use technology to save money, mitigate risk and improve resilience will bring value to the ACAM mission and progress for agricultural sustainability overall.

“We’re delighted AGI/Farmobile has joined the Movement to help farmers better understand, value and participate in the many opportunities regenerative farming and data-driven solutions offer,” said Amy Skoczlas Cole, executive vice president of Trust in Food. “AGI/Farmobile’s participation in ACAM initiatives such as our Connected Ag Working Group will move the conversation forward, breaking down barriers that often limit producers’ ability to fully engage with data-driven solutions.”

“AGI’s Farmobile data-as-a-service team recognizes that a more connected agriculture means different things to different farmers,” said Bradford Warner, vice president business development – sustainability, Farmobile. “ACAM represents a powerful platform for engaging U.S. farmers in the tremendous potential of data-driven decision making via ongoing storytelling, case studies, place-based farmer learning communities, events and more. Farmers are the original stewards of our land and water, and as we increasingly pursue the potential of climate-smart agriculture, Farmobile will help them navigate these new opportunities through the power of rich, interoperable data sets that create a system of record for crop stewardship practices and drive better business outcomes at the farm gate.”
