About Jaco van der Westhuizen

After many years of working for the largest organizations in the Ag industry I decided to do it for myself. I am taking a lifetime of experiences and learnings and crafting a business model that I believe makes sense for all levels of growers - a model that has them in mind instead of shareholders. I am a member of The Novus Ag Group and they empower my team to supply you with everything our growers need, but with our personal touch.The Ag Retail model has been out evolved by many strategic growers, I want to be part of this new evolutionized model. Our company is focused on simplification and very defined supply strategies. Just like all other retail companies, we sell performance, protection, differentiation and value. The only difference with us is that we focus on your ROI with the support of very strategic partners.Many companies will highlight the fact that they have thousands of products in the portfolio, the reality is that none of them have a salesforce that is educated in all those products. We don\'t sell the \"flavor of the week\", we sell a strategy that has the grower in mind from day one.Liberty Ag Solutions does all of the above, whilst enjoying what we do and having fun doing it - why else do it?Be Safe
