California-based Trimble acquires the assets of privately held AGRI-TREND of Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, which operates the largest network of independent agricultural consultants in North America.
AGRI-TREND’s network of over 200 specialists spread throughout the U.S. and Canada includes over 110 independent “coaches” specializing in agronomy, precision farming, crop marketing and farm business management. Coaches are supported by a team of science specialists providing in-house research, training and insight support for both the coaching network and the AGRI-DATA Solution platform — a proprietary farm data management solution. As a result, AGRI-TREND’s solutions enable growers to make informed business decisions that better allocate scarce resources to produce safe and environmentally sustainable food, according to the companies.
