About Neil Wagner

I have been a leading force in digital agriculture, delivering innovative solutions that enhance crop management and yield. As the Senior Agronomic Solutions Advisor at Richardson Pioneer, I led the deployment of our CropWatch program, which leverages data analytics, remote sensing, and precision agriculture techniques to provide growers with critical insights for optimizing crop performance. With a background in IT consulting and a certification in Applied Data Science from MIT Professional Education, I have the skills to integrate and analyze data from various platforms, including John Deere Ops Centre, Climate Fieldview, Xarvio, Metos, DJI, and Business Intelligence environments. I also develop data models that optimize each stage of the production cycle, combining agronomy with advanced data science to deliver precise, data-driven solutions. As a Certified Crop Adviser-Professional Plus (CCA-PP) through the American Society of Agronomy, I ensure that my strategies are rooted in scientific principles and best practices. My research on new products and technologies, powered by digital agriculture tools, helps my team guide growers to proper product usage and maximize their returns. My mission is to advance agricultural practices through technology, empowering farmers with the tools and insights they need to achieve sustainable, profitable outcomes. I am passionate about improving crop performance and sustainability, and sharing my knowledge with the industry. I am proud to contribute to Richardson Pioneer's vision of being a global leader in agriculture and food processing.
