In 2004, Ryan Hammes, Hammes Family Farms and Hammes Seed Incorporated, began using toolbars with coulter applied anhydrous ammonia. By 2006, he began working with customers on solutions for precision application of anhydrous ammonia and other crop nutrients. Hammes soon decided that a complete turnkey solution for precision nutrient application was needed. He began working with suppliers and technology partners to design a new toolbar solution to meet that need.

In 2009, Hammes approached Jim Renyer and Andy Renyer at USC, LLC, about forming a company to develop and manufacture the new, turnkey toolbar solution for precision dual nutrient application. The team explored existing toolbar designs and the latest in technology for precision nutrient application. The first prototype was named TR40A and was assembled and field-tested fall 2009. Field testing and refinement continued into spring 2010 resulting in the final prototype successfully applying both anhydrous ammonia and dry fertilizer.

In March 2010, the successful partnership led to the formation of AgSynergy^®. April 2010, a customer in northeast Kansas took delivery of the first TR40A production unit and the MT30A first production unit quickly followed, with delivery to a customer May 2010.

In the summer of 2011, AgSynergy^® introduced Genesis TRX^®. Genesis TRX^® is a precision, high speed, single disk opener for the placement of nutrients into the soil. Genesis TRX^® provides superior sealing of ammonia at both high and low speeds with the least amount of soil disturbance. In addition to Genesis TRX^®®, new SM model toolbars and TR model toolbars were introduced.

The Genesis RAZER™ was unveiled in December of 2015 and is a single disk, high speed, minimum disturbance opener. The new Genesis RAZER™ row unit design allowed for dual placement of anhydrous ammonia with either liquid or dry fertilizer. This innovative product is adaptable to a wide variety of working conditions, ranging from conventional to no-till. The open design allows for easy access and the continuous flow of residue and soil throughout the row unit to minimize plugging.

Since unveiling the Genesis RAZER™, AgSynergy^® further refined their toolbar design with the release of the TR400 Series™ Toolbars. Utilizing Finite Element Stress Testing, which included following rigorous tests using sensors placed throughout the toolbar, areas of high stress within the toolbar design were detected. AgSynergy^® utilized this information to produce stronger, more advanced toolbars with new features not previously available.

The passion at AgSynergy^® for innovation and growth continues today. From introducing multiple toolbars for side dressing and pre-plant precision nutrient application to the Genesis RAZER™ row unit – a precision, high speed, single disk opener for the precision placement of nutrients. The latest innovation is our TR400 Series Toolbars – more advanced toolbars with new features. The AgSynergy^® team stays on top of industry trends, continuing to rapidly develop and manufacture better toolbar solutions offering minimal disturbance, precision, nutrient application, based on the latest technology. AgSynergy^® meets the needs of producers throughout the country.
