Iowa Soybean Association Launches Partners+ Program with AGI

June 17, 2025 | Brock Johnston

Ankeny, Iowa — In an innovative move to support Iowa farmers amid tightening margins, the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) is launching a Partners+ Program with Ag Growth International (AGI) as its first participant.

AGI is a global leader in grain storage, handling, and conditioning systems. As an ISA Partners+ participant, AGI will provide ISA farmer-members discounts on in-bin digital monitoring systems and grain conditioning and handling solutions.

“This partnership is about equipping farmers with the tools and knowledge they need to be more successful while saving them money,” said Brent Swart, ISA president and soybean farmer from Spencer. “By aligning with AGI, we’re helping deliver opportunities that could help our members make smarter decisions, reduce risk, and maximize the return on every bushel stored.”

AGI’s digital retrofit solutions — including smartphone-operated in-bin monitoring systems — offer farmers real-time visibility into grain conditions, helping prevent spoilage, reduce stress, and generate year-over-year performance data.

“We are delighted to partner with ISA, especially from a digital perspective,” said David Postill, senior vice president of AGI Digital & Global Marketing. “The goal is to help soybean farmers save or make money through operational upgrades while deepening our relationship with an association that does so much to advocate for the industry and agriculture.”

An in-bin monitoring system retrofit to an existing bin could transform how a farmer manages grain in the bin — ensuring quality, increasing safety, providing real-time visibility, and preserving the value of their hard-earned crop.

“In a challenging ag economy, producers are seeking affordable upgrades that streamline grain storage, handling and conditioning,” Postill added. “This program delivers exactly that — providing additional insights that can make a farm more profitable.”

Discounts are available to active ISA farmer-members. Verification of membership status will be confirmed before program benefits and discounts are applied.

Additional ISA Partners+ Program participants will be announced this fall.
