State Agriculture Technology Officers (SATO)

The State Agriculture Technology Officers (SATO) group was formed in 2017 with the intention to increase collaboration among state IT leaders in agriculture. SATO aims to facilitate open conversation around shared challenges and solutions. Traditionally, situations have been dealt with in isolation, but SATO provides the opportunity to collaborate and share solutions. Additionally, sharing experiences with IT vendors assists in industry transparency and elevation of vendors that positively contribute to the industry.
