About Tri-Ag | Family-Run Agronomy Experts

About TriAg

Jack Moore founded Tri-Ag Products in 1979 with his father, Royce Moore. Known across ag retail as a leader and innovator, Jack brought a deep knowledge of crops, pests, and products. His commitment to customer service and to offering a complete product lineup continues to shape who we are today now led by brothers Todd and Thad Moore.

Tri-Ag Products began as an independent retailer for crop protection, seed, and fertilizer with one focus: the grower. From day one, our model has been agronomy first and customer first, delivering recommendations tailored to each field to help maximize yield and profit. We do not push standardized, program-driven solutions. We build the right plan for your acres.

Partnerships and Innovation

As we have grown, so have our relationships with leading agricultural manufacturers. These partnerships give our customers early access to proven innovations and practical solution upgrades that make a difference in the field.

Field-First Agronomy

Good advice starts by listening to your goals and walking your fields. We scout, sample, and adjust throughout the season to keep decisions aligned with crop needs, timing, and your budget.

Our Promise

Strategic growth will never change our core philosophy. Every decision starts with the needs of the individual customer.

TODD MOORE

Co-Founder

Todd spent the first 25 years of his career leading Supply Chain teams for 3 internationally known companies in 3 different industries. In 2013, Todd met with his Dad and bother, Jack and Thad, to discuss joining the family company to help them grow and develop new market opportunities. That same year, Todd left his corporate role and joined his family at Tri-Ag Products. Since that time, Tri-Ag has grown significantly and expanded into new markets and most recently started a new company, Yield Innovations.

Todd and his wife Connie have three grown children living in various locations around the U.S. In his limited spare time away from the business, Todd enjoys taking trips with his family and investigating new parts of the world.

THAD MOORE

Co-Founder

Thad spent the beginning of his career as a golf course superintendent at multiple private country clubs while graduating at The Ohio State University in Agronomy with a Specialization in Turfgrass Management in 1992. These experiences helped lay the foundation and prepare him to be part of the family business with his parents and joined Tri-Ag Products, Inc. in 2002. Thad has a passion to provide impeccable customer service and during his tenure he has been able to evolve with the ever-changing agricultural industry. Thad helped develop our core values and implement Personal Agronomy Simplified and put a focus on the growers’ individual needs to tailor programs based on what they want.

Together we have been able to make a difference on the farm with our trained agronomy sales staff and yield consultants in multiple states with the formation of Yield Innovations. We provide agronomic solutions with our own proprietary line of products in collaboration with our manufacturing partners. This has led us to growth in seed, nutrients, and crop production solutions and set ourselves apart from the merging entities we compete against to be successful for the future.
