Our Story
The AgChieve corporation was founded in January 2002, becoming one of the first professional grain marketing advisory firms in Western Canada. At the time, critics insisted that farmers would be skeptical of paid marketing advice, but hundreds of producers soon proved them wrong. AgChieve found a niche in providing trustworthy, unbiased recommendations – and we continue to lead the field in charting expertise and technical analysis.
