"Global competitors are pouring billions into agricultural research and emerging technologies, while American farmers are being asked to do more with less. The pressure on farmers is real: Net farm income for row crop producers remains persistently low, public investment in agricultural research has plummeted to 1970s levels, and the technologies that could reshape our industry too often stall before reaching the farm gate."
"It's a mindset that shows up in how we invest, innovate, and grow. For example, our recent announcement of AgRogue Growth Partners shows how we aim to harness the strength of the cooperative model by working together with our local agricultural retail owners to fast-track the discovery, investment, and the adoption of breakthrough technologies."
Global competitors are investing heavily in agricultural research and emerging technologies while American farmers face increasing pressure and persistently low net income. Public investment in agricultural research has declined to 1970s levels, and promising technologies frequently stall before reaching farms. Land O'Lakes announced AgRogue Growth Partners to collaborate with local agricultural retail owners and accelerate discovery, investment, and adoption of breakthrough technologies. The initiative leverages deep, multigenerational relationships and a continuous-productivity mindset. System-level thinking and long-term partnerships are required to bring stability, reduce risk, and help farmers make smarter, lower-risk decisions using precision technologies, AI insights, and new business models.
