The Value of our Global Focus

By Brent Kemp, President and CEO

When I’m asked to describe AgGateway as an organization, one thing I always emphasize is that we are international in scope. Going back to 2008, AgGateway board members and member companies were already identifying ways that the successes in both resource and relationship development achieved in North America could translate around the globe.

Progress Marches on Across Working Groups

By Ben Craker, Portfolio Manager

Several of the working groups are doing their best imitation of a “Midwestern goodbye.” They seem like they are done and ready to move on, but then there is just one more thing to address.

ISO TC347 Plenary Recap: Connecting to AgGateway

By Ben Craker, Portfolio Manager

If you're active on LinkedIn, you may have noticed several posts from some of the AgGateway’s most dedicated volunteer members in mid-March. Many of us traveled to Berlin to attend the first in-person plenary session for the newly formed ISO Technical Committee 347, Data-Driven Agrifood Systems.

ADAPT and Learning to Get Along

By Paul Schrimpf, Marketing and Communications Director

Fifteen years ago, the early concepts of what would become the ADAPT Standard version 1.0 released last year was a glint in the eye of a handful of agriculture companies. And how we got where we are today is yet another testament to the value of AgGateway and its active member volunteers. Read more >
