A message from our president
Al Myers
President & Founder of Ag Leader
You may be familiar with Ag Leader, but for those of you who are not, Ag Leader is an innovator in precision farming that holds ethics, relationships, trust, and integrity highly. In 1986, I felt the need to be innovative beyond the scope of my day-to-day job, so I began development of an on-the-go yield monitor. It wasn’t until 1992 that I was satisfied with a marketable product, and Ag Leader was born. Since then, Ag Leader has been producing high-quality, innovative precision agriculture tools that improve decision making, efficiency, and solve agronomic challenges around the globe.
Today, there are many changes going on in the world of precision agriculture – mergers, buyouts, and new companies entering the market. It seems many precision partners are focused on producing products that appeal to the equipment manufacturers and focus less on what the individual grower needs. At Ag Leader, addressing the wants and needs of farmers is our number one priority.
With four offices, 400+ employees and an expansive dealer network worldwide, Ag Leader is dedicated to producing a valuable product experience for growers. Headquartered in Ames, Iowa, Ag Leader remains family owned and operated and solely focused on precision farming technology.
We invite you to look over our products and then connect with your local Ag Leader dealer. I’m certain Ag Leader can improve your farming operation and quality of life.
