About Us

Our Philosophy

"To provide our customers with the best possible service and products that are humanly possible."

A Business Venture

Agri-Tronix Corporation was founded in 1981 as a partnership and part-time venture, operated from the living room of Terry Clarkson’s home. By 1982, it evolved into a corporation, adding a second repair facility at Terry’s partner’s residence.

By spring 1985, the business had grown so successfully that the founders left their full-time jobs to focus entirely on Agri-Tronix. The company moved into its first dedicated facility at 2001 N US 31, hired several employees, and began growing rapidly. The years 1985 and 1986 were pivotal, laying the foundation for a strong and loyal customer base.

In April 1988, Terry purchased his partner’s shares, becoming the sole owner, a position he continues to hold today. Agri-Tronix has transformed from a small home-based business to an international agricultural electronics provider. Despite its growth, the company remains committed to its “small business mentality,” which has been the cornerstone of its success.

A Word About Our Employees

I often get asked, “What makes Agri-Tronix unique from other companies?” My answer is simple: “The employees.” Their dedication to excellence is the backbone of this business. One customer once told me, “I call Agri-Tronix all the time, and no matter the day, I’ve never spoken to someone who wasn’t friendly and helpful.”

Our employees’ commitment to service is unmatched. They’ve worked through the night to prepare orders, rushed to process shipments as the UPS truck arrives, and taken 2 a.m. calls from customers in Australia. During planting and harvest seasons, 12-14 hour days are the norm, not the exception. They do all this not for themselves but for you—because they understand that farming isn’t just a job; it’s your livelihood.
