Bill McFarland
Chairman, Farmer's Edge

Bill McFarland Thanks, Cindy, and good morning, and welcome to everyone on the call today. The third quarter of 2022 was an important time for Farmers Edge in repositioning the company for the future. In Q3, the board and the management team reviewed the business end-to-end and developed a new business strategy which was discussed with the board. Key pillars of the new strategy include accelerating acre growth, building a cost reduction plan which reduces the cash burn rate, improving our execution in the field while putting growers and our B2B partners at the center of everything we do, and identifying the right talent mix and capabilities to drive our business forward in the future. Q3 was also a time to step back and obtain customer feedback on our Farm Command platform and relationships. This feedback, along with the new strategy and underlying actions, will be critical elements in driving future success. Our commitment as a board and management team is to move forward with speed and agility and make the changes required to create a stronger and long-term sustainable business. There has been a lot accomplished by Vibor and team over the past couple of months. We also recognize there is a lot more to do, and Vibor will provide further details in his remarks today. I will now pass it over to Cindy for some brief comments on the Q3 results.
