CELEBRATING 40 YEARS SERVING AGRIBUSINESS

Since 1969, AGRI-associates has grown and become the acknowledged leader in the agribusiness and food related recruiting industry.  In 1969, we started with one office in Kansas City and today we have over twenty-affiliated offices within our network.

This year we celebrate our 40th year in serving our clients.  The economic environment has changed considerably, but AGRI-associates has adjusted to meet these challenges.  Our clients remain our highest priority and all of our associates are involved in the decision making process, as we continue to build stronger relationships with our clients.

In the years ahead, not only must we provide the quality service provided in the past, but continue to be the professionals with whom companies want to do business.   We seek to reaffirm our commitment to our clients, to achieve the highest quality services available.  That commitment was essential in 1969, as it is today. 

Thank you for helping us achieve our 40th year anniversary.

Call us today and put our network to work for you.
