In this episode, we kick back with Tim Gutwein, CEO of AgXplore, to uncover the personal and professional journey that took him from rural roots to the helm of one of agriculture’s most innovative companies. Tim walks us through the early days of AgXplore, a company founded in 1999 with a mission to deliver smarter, more effective plant nutrition solutions.
He shares what it was like to join the company in 2006 as Director of Sales, helping scale it from just five employees and $2 million in revenue to record-breaking growth. We talk about the buyout of the founder in 2018, how he leads with passion, and why his team would “run through a wall” for him.
Beyond business, Tim opens up about the challenges he’s faced, the family values that continue to shape AgXplore, and what the future holds for the company and the ag industry. Plus, we fire off some fun questions—from field snacks to the weirdest thing he’s seen in a field.
