To make Ag Leader Technology successful, many people have come together and work towards a similar goal. Over the next year, I will be introducing readers to some of the people that make Ag Leader possible. From our engineering department to our dealers and customers, together, we are Ag Leader. 

Today we will hear from product manager, Matt Leinen.
