As one of North America’s agricultural cooperative systems, serving more than 250,000 individual farmers, GROWMARK is one of the most active companies involved in AgGateway.
GROWMARK Senior Agronomy Portfolio Technology Manager Zach Leiser says AgGateway’s work is critically important to what they are able to do for their farmer members. “Because our network of companies is so vast, we’ve got a lot of different colored equipment within companies, across companies, and we want to do everything we can to make sure that if we capture something in one piece of equipment, that we can easily transfer that to another one to be utilized for whatever operation needs to take place,” said Leiser during an interview at the recent AgGateway annual meeting.
Leiser has been personally involved at AgGateway over the years with field boundaries and the new Field Boundary: Obstacles working group. And so it’s trying to help better define what are the things that are going to impact that operation? And what can we do to help facilitate conversations to make sure that we’ve got the big OEM manufacturers working together so ultimately our lives become easier?”
GROWMARK has a number of staff members involved in AgGateway, including Jacob Crow, GROWMARK’s IT Portfolio Director, who was just elected Chair of the AgGateway Board of Directors at the annual meeting.
