At Ag Ventures, our commitment to your success knows no bounds. That's why we're dedicated to bringing together all of our visionary founders under one roof, offering an opportunity to network, exchange insights, and tackle challenges together. We'll also be hosting the AgLaunch Farmer Trial Members, providing you with ample opportunities to connect and engage with over dinner and social activities.

We are privileged to announce that Jerrod Westfahl, a Founder and Investor, will be facilitating the Founder:Founder networking session. With an impressive track record that includes successfully steering AgriSync to an acquisition by John Deere®, Jerrod currently serves as the Vice President of Investment at Innovative Livestock Services, bringing a wealth of expertise and insights to our gathering. We are also proud to announce that Bob Recker, Cedar Valley Innovations, and Alex Shaffer, Iowa Soybean Association will be facilitating the Farmer:Farmer networking session. Since his retirement from Deere & Company, Bob Recker has devoted his time to leveraging his industrial experience and tools to improve the profitability and global competitiveness of the American Farmer. Alex Schaffer, Research Agronomist at Iowa Soybean Association, coordinates with farmers to implement on-farm research and acts as a conduit between farmers and ISA to further develop the on-farm research program to deliver meaningful results to farmers across Iowa.

Stay tuned as we will be unveiling more details in the coming weeks about the Founder & Farmer Trial Networking event and the Ag Ventures Annual Meeting. We sincerely hope you can mark your calendars and join us on March 26th and 27th for what promises to be an enriching and impactful experience.
