AgList Launches the 'Yelp for Agriculture'

This is Tim Hammerich of the Ag Information Network with your Farm of the Future Report.

Sorting through the growing number of ag products on the market today can be overwhelming, especially when every company claims to have the next big thing. That’s why Tim Nuss co-founded AgList — a trusted, grower-driven platform that works like Yelp for agriculture. Their focus is starting with biologicals.

Nuss… “Ultimately, the goal of AgList is to be the Yelp for agriculture. We're starting with a very narrow focus in biologicals based on learnings that we saw on our farm. Over the past three or four years we've been adopting and integrating biologicals on our farm, and it's pretty overwhelming as a farmer. There's, you know, hundreds of these companies that are all doing direct outreach to farmers that have their unique solution on how they're gonna solve whatever problem it is. And it's a lot to sift through as a farmer of case studies and white papers, and a lot of the stuff that. I'm not an agronomist, so a lot of it goes over my head. And so like me as a farmer, when I get reached out to like by a new company, the first thing I do is call the growers that I'm friendly with and say, Hey, have you heard about this company or this product? What do you have to say about it? And get kind of that feedback. And that's kinda what gives me the confidence either to move forward and try something or just keep it on the shelf. And so the idea was to basically like digitize this experience where there's a lot of momentum right now in biologicals of like, how do we transition away from synthetics, biologicals have been around for decades, and they typically have like a negative connotation about them. So like, how do we really create transparency and trust in the space and lean into kind of the endorsements of like other growers are using this, things have changed and kind of build that out. So those are the two areas that we're focused on.”
