MyAgData Featured in Prairie Business Magazine

At the Midwest Agriculture Summit, hosted by the Fargo-Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce on June 9, MyAgData CEO Michelle Tressel joined a panel of industry leaders to discuss emerging technologies and how growers can take control of their data.

We're pleased to share that MyAgData was featured in Prairie Business Magazine's July 2026 issue, in an article covering the summit and the panelists' perspectives on innovation in a changing ag economy.

The piece points out that growers are often asked to make major financial decisions based on incomplete information, from weather forecasts to tariffs to shifting input and commodity costs.

"What we try to focus on is how we can take friction out of the things we can know. We're focused on helping farmers look at their data — not changing the way they farm, but really finding ways to be efficient given the data that is available to them."
— Michelle Tressel, CEO, MyAgData

This recognition aligns with our mission:

To give growers a trusted, independent place to organize their data so they can make it work harder for their operation, not someone else's.

The article also touched on why that trust matters so much:

• Independence. MyAgData doesn't sell seed or inputs, so there's no conflict of interest in how grower data gets used.
• Data quality. Even the most advanced AI tools can't fix decades of fragmented, map-based data. Clean, accurate data has to come first.
• Ownership. Growers who take control of their own data story are better positioned to leverage it, rather than leaving that decision to someone else.

We're proud to see MyAgData's approach to grower-owned data recognized alongside other companies shaping the future of agriculture.
