North America Mid-Year Meeting Registration Now Open!
From the President
By Brent Kemp, President and CEO
I invested in bifocal glasses in February. Aside from the reminder of years passing and eyes wearing out, the purchase prompted reflection on vision – specifically, organizational vision.
AgGateway was founded over 20 years ago by individuals and organizations with a vision of how connectivity and efficiency lead to more profitable business. Our volunteers presented at conferences on the dollars and time saved by implementing agreed-upon, standardized business messages. Volunteers identified the need for improved documentation and exchange of field operations records. We recognized early on that we didn’t have all the answers or even represent all the channels where farm outputs travel after harvest. So, we partnered with peers and hosted international collaborative efforts to ensure the work done in AgGateway is compatible with those other data exchange processes. Read more >

It is hard to believe that we are already talking about the Mid-Year Meeting, but here we are. I still have snow on the ground outside my window so it seems like June is a long way away, but it will be here before you know it. Read more >

It's hard to believe we're already at the point of finalizing plans for the 2026 North America Mid-Year Meeting, but that's where we're at today.
Much like the Annual Conference last year, we're taking a new approach and really going back to the basics, as my colleague Paul Schrimpf likes to say. I want to encourage you to take a look at the agenda – the nearly final version is on the conference website and linked here. Read more >

As the Brazilian soybean harvest season hits its peak this month I am looking forward to meeting with members and stakeholders at key agriculture events.
On 5 March I will represent AgGateway Latin America at the first in-person meeting of the Agrodigital Innovation Thematic Chamber (CTIAD) of the Ministry of Agriculture in Brasília/DF. I will have the opportunity to talk about the important connectivity and interoperability work and initiatives of our organization to the members of this Committee. This Chamber aims to foster technological innovation, rural connectivity, training, and finance (Agrofintechs) with the goal of strengthening ag technology ecosystems. Read more >
