OUR MISSION

TODD MOORE
Co-Founder
Todd spent the first 25 years of his career leading Supply Chain teams for 3 internationally known companies in 3 different industries. In 2013, Todd met with his Dad and bother, Jack and Thad, to discuss joining the family company to help them grow and develop new market opportunities. That same year, Todd left his corporate role and joined his family at Tri-Ag Products. Since that time, Tri-Ag has grown significantly and expanded into new markets and most recently started a new company, Yield Innovations.
Todd and his wife Connie have three grown children living in various locations around the U.S. In his limited spare time away from the business, Todd enjoys taking trips with his family and investigating new parts of the world. He enjoys playing golf, snowboarding and scuba diving. He is also a fan of Ohio State football and attending games at The Shoe.
THAD MOORE
Co-Founder
Thad spent the beginning of his career as a golf course superintendent at multiple private country clubs while graduating at The Ohio State University in Agronomy with a Specialization in Turfgrass Management in 1992. These experiences helped lay the foundation and prepare him to be part of the family business with his parents and joined Tri-Ag Products, Inc. in 2002. Thad has a passion to provide impeccable customer service and during his tenure he has been able to evolve with the ever-changing agricultural industry. Thad helped develop our core values and implement Personal Agronomy Simplified and put a focus on the growers’ individual needs to tailor programs based on what they want.
Together we have been able to make a difference on the farm with our trained agronomy sales staff and yield consultants in multiple states with the formation of Yield Innovations. We provide agronomic solutions with our own proprietary line of products in collaboration with our manufacturing partners. This has led us to growth in seed, nutrients, and crop production solutions and set ourselves apart from the merging entities we compete against to be successful for the future.
Tri-Ag and Yield Innovations are family businesses where he has had the pleasure of working with his wife Karen, two kids (Zachery and Alexis), Mom, Dad, and his brother Todd. Karen and Thad are also blessed with 2 other children (Ryan and Jason) who are attending college. Thad enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, and traveling to the beach during his time away from the business.
RYAN MCALLISTER
President
Ryan McAllister brings 30 years of ag experience, with a focus toward innovation. His ag innovation journey began when he started a precision ag department at a local co-op in 1994, grid sampling and installing the first yield monitors, long before they were common. From there, he spent 15 years at Beck’s, in sales and leadership roles. It was his experience as Beck’s Director of Practical Farm Research where he further fostered a desire to innovate on behalf of farmers. As PFR Director, he developed Beck’s PFR Proven™. This concept transformed complex research into simple, easy to implement recommendations.
At Yield Innovations, Ryan takes the knowledge gained from these past experiences to lead the creation of new product ideas and the on-farm testing proving grounds that bring these ideas to life!
