Indigo and Landus advance digital enablement of ag supply chain

Indigo Agriculture, a company leveraging nature and technology to unlock economic and environmental progress in agriculture, has unveiled the industry’s most advanced solution for streamlining grain merchandising, Market+ Merchandise, delivering efficiency and unlocking additional value for farmers. Partnering with Landus, Iowa’s largest co-op and an industry leader in farmer-centric innovation, on the launch, the inaugural technology release is the latest demonstration of Indigo’s ongoing effort to serve as the ag industry’s independent technology platform provider.

“By partnering with Indigo, we’re able to put breakthrough science and technology directly in the hands of our network, helping farmers and buyers streamline their work, capture more profitable outcomes, and lean into new opportunities along every step of the supply chain,” said Matt Carstens, President and CEO of Landus, which has begun to rollout Market+ Merchandise to its farmer-owners as part of the companies’ recently announced multi-year collaboration. “Agriculture is constant adaptation. But with market forces like digitization and sustainability transforming the industry real-time, ensuring the success of our farmer-owners and customers requires not just adaptation, but a fundamental evolution of how we do business. Indigo is the single, independent partner with the technology, capabilities, and sustainability expertise to help successfully navigate these disruptive forces and ensure farmers come out on top.”
