Verdesian CEO J.J. Grow to expand Verdesian’s products.
“Global agriculture provides a unique challenge because there are so many variables,” Grow said. “Jake’s and Sam’s perspectives on products and technologies in the industry will add a lot of value to our team as we look to make the Verdesian portfolio to be all-inclusive for farmers seeking healthier, more robust crops and a greater return on investment.”
Verdesian Life Sciences is dedicated to helping farmers more efficiently plant their crops in order to produce the best yield. As technology becomes more and more a part of a farmer’s life, Verdesian recognizes that it must continue to grow and develop ways to keep up with the continuing advancements for farmers.
