Who We Are

AgConnect emerged from a September 2004 visit that Les Yoder made to Moldova. Out of that visit, two projects were formed which compared Moldovan practices of growing corn, to growing corn according to accepted US practices. Les Yoder went to Moldova to evaluate the success of those projects, and to determine if this was a work that should continue.
