AgCertain Industries, Inc.

Extensive measures have been taken by AgCertain Boone team members to upkeep our new and improved retention pond. The pond, first constructed in July 2022, is in place to control storm water, as well as provide habitat for wildlife. Several species of fish have been introduced to the pond. The aquatic environment has been further enhanced by introducing sunken trees into the pond, creating habitats for the fish. Piers were built to prepare for the construction of a dock. Maintaining and enhancing the biodiversity of the pond will provide a thriving water environment that supports a variety of wildlife on AgCertain’s campus.

We’re looking to add an exceptional Quality Assurance professional to our team!
