WINNIPEG, MB, July 5, 2021 /CNW/ - Ag Growth International Inc.
("AGI" or the "Company") (TSX: AFN) is pleased to announce
Jason Tatge as the new Senior Vice
President of AGI SureTrack.
In this role, Jason will be accountable for integrating the
Farmobile and SureTrack organizations, driving sales growth, and
developing applications relevant to sustainability and
carbon-related markets.
"We are excited to have Jason lead the AGI SureTrack platform,"
commented Tim Close, President &
CEO of AGI. "As an experienced operator in the agriculture sector,
with a deep knowledge of the AgTech landscape, Jason has the
pedigree to make a major impact on the growth trajectory of the
business. Through our multi-year relationship with Farmobile, I
have had the chance to work alongside Jason and feel strongly that
he offers the leadership, vision, and energy required to rapidly
advance our AGI SureTrack platform. As the pace of digitization
continues to accelerate across the farm and agricultural supply
chain, Jason and the SureTrack team will ensure that AGI remains at
the forefront of this vital transformation."
"My collaboration with AGI over the last few years has given me
a unique line-of-sight into the AGI SureTrack platform which will
be essential in allowing me to continue advancing the business
without interruption," noted Jason
Tatge. "With a market leading suite of IoT hardware, AGI has
created the digital infrastructure that sets the standard for
effortless collection and organization of field and machine-level
data. A complete and easily verifiable system of record to tell a
full crop story from the time the seed goes into the ground through
to grain marketing unlocks significant value for the entire
agricultural and food supply chain. This is a unique opportunity to
take a hands-on role in leading and shaping a cutting-edge
technology. I look forward to working with the entire AGI team."

over the last twenty years. As the co-founder and CEO of Farmobile,
a business which AGI recently acquired, Jason is an expert in one
of the most critical and differentiated technologies within the
overall AGI SureTrack platform. Prior to Farmobile, Jason founded
