AgroPages-Syngenta extends its partnership with Ram Trucks-Agricultural news

Syngenta has teamed up with Ram Trucks to reward and empower good decisions. U.S. farmers who purchase a new Ram truck from an Agriculture Dealer can get access to Syngenta digital ag tools. AgriEdge, a whole-farm management program that combines secure data management across digital platforms and innovative product choices for every crop, is now included in the Ram AgPack.

Ram AgPack is a unique collaboration of several agricultural organizations dedicated to delivering U.S. farmers a competitive edge. The initiative will give U.S. farmers the opportunity to maximize their return on investment (ROI) potential by helping them save on items they already planned to purchase. This improved ROI is compounded through access to AgriEdge.

AgriEdge empowers partners to make better decisions through the integration of data, analytics and agronomic experience. AgriEdge allows farmers to track inputs and yield on a per-field basis, and it can be leveraged to promote more sustainable operations which can be reported to downstream stakeholders. This exclusive program has helped growers maximize their return on investment for more than 18 years.

"Innovation is a cornerstone for Syngenta that helps to assist U.S. farmers be more productive while also increasing their profitability," said Shane Taylor, Marketing Manager of Digital Ag Solutions at Syngenta. "AgriEdge is designed to assist farmers with making the best agronomic decisions that offer optimum economical outcomes and provide best-in-class service. Our program was created by farmers, for farmers. Like Syngenta, Ram provides industry-specific products and service to farmers."

Dave Sowers, head of Ram Commercial Truck Marketing, added, "The Ram Agriculture Dealer program created an industry-exclusive network of elite agriculture dealerships, trained by farmers and ranchers. These specialty Agriculture Dealerships also offer a benefits package we call AgPack that will save their customers thousands of dollars in capital and operating expenses, simply because they purchase their truck from one of these specialty Agriculture Dealers. Ram AgPack provides a real, immediate return on the farmer's truck investment."

Growers who purchase a new truck from one of more than 300 Agriculture Dealers qualify for a one-year subscription of AgriEdge. Local AgriEdge Specialists will work with eligible growers to identify the optimal digital tools for their farming operations.
