Our Roots Run Deep
America – the land of beauty and bounty – has been shaped by generations of hardworking farming families. For more than 150 years, Syngenta has worked shoulder to shoulder with U.S. farmers, helping produce higher yields, managing fields with more confidence, and building stronger and more resilient operations. While agriculture continues to evolve, our commitment remains the same: delivering the tools and support farmers need to preserve their livelihood and legacy for decades to come.
Agriculture isn’t just our business – it’s who we are. Trust, reliability and consistency are the backbone of our people and the enduring relationships we’ve built with our customers. Many of our leaders were raised on farms across the country. From mornings that begin before sunrise to the quiet satisfaction of an honest day’s work at the end of the night, they carry first-hand knowledge of what ag means to the people who work the land every day.
The experience of growing up on a family farm has shaped the perspective Syngenta executive, Jeff Rowe, brings to U.S. ag, innovation and food security. Watch the video to hear his story.
