Discover the Roots of Our Vision
Rooted in Purpose
At Good Start Ag Innovations, our mission is to enhance agriculture by developing high-quality, intuitive, efficient, and safe solutions that support progress on farms.
The Seeds of Good Start
Good Start Ag Innovations began in 2014 under the name Good Start Seed Care, offering timely and accurate seed treating services in close partnership with local farmers.
In January of 2025, the company began developing a new applicator for applying treatments to seed and fertilizer, supported by industry stakeholders seeking a better solution tailored to the Canadian market. Drawing on years of custom application experience across Canadian farms and a combined 55 years in the agriculture industry, Good Start Ag Innovations introduced the A.R.C. Applicator in September 2025.
Today, Good Start Ag Innovations is built on a foundation of respectful relationships, high-quality locally sourced components, and a commitment to innovation, reliability, and safety.
