        • Draft:
          • There is a gap in where precision ag as it is today, and where it can and should be due to lack of standardization. Your company can help by hosting an API or by sourcing data through a partner. A few of the benefits of an API are enabling better data continuity through the supply chain, an increased chance that your products are used according to their label, and controlling the documentation of your products.

        • How to use - in conversation with API flyer as a handout
        • How to distribute within AgGateway to be used - Andres to get Susan the cards previously used for SPADE and PAIL so she can get this elevator speech printed and ready to use in conversations at the annual meeting. Needed by Wednesday noon. Shannon emailed verbiage to team for this speech.
