Our collective experience in leading the charge on this front has demonstrated that it’s challenging work and there are no shortcuts. Read more >
Portfolio Update
By Ben Craker, Portfolio Manager
While many of us have been living in a deep freeze for the past month, the activity level has been warming up for many AgGateway working groups. Most teams have had a couple of meetings since the holiday break and are back up to speed. Several groups are looking at the finish line, which also means we are starting to look at the Mid-Year meeting and what new activities will benefit from some face-to-face time. Read more >

ADAPT
In response to a need for a more streamlined process for managing AgGateway’s ADAPT Standard, AgGateway has formed the ADAPT Governance Committee. Since the release of ADAPT Standard version 1.0 in June 2024, developers and data managers from around the world have been reviewing the data exchange standard and expressing interest in enhancing it to address some of the biggest data interoperability issues in agricultural field operations. While version 1.0 was designed to address core data exchange related to field operations, additional revisions are forthcoming. Read more >

20th Anniversary
By Paul Schrimpf, Director of Marketing and Communications
Editor’s Note: Throughout 2025 we will share stories of the challenges and successes the organization experienced in the formation and development of AgGateway as part of our 20th anniversary celebration.

Individual organizations pursued their own initiatives that they hoped would become industry standard, and the larger segments – crop protection, seed, and fertilizer – were trying to marshal their members to create standards for their own corners of the industry.
