TriAg G.P is a 5th generation family farm, operating over 130 years at its current location in the northwest corner of Rice County in central Kansas.  TriAg’s current generation consists of brothers Chad and Christopher and their wives Angie and Cari respectively.  The 6th generation is quickly growing, and the Christian values that were instilled in the current managers are being taught to them.

Current, as well as previous generations, have taken great care to develop a diversified operation, consisting of crop and animal production, custom services, and ventures in other businesses in both the agriculture and non-ag sectors.

TriAg takes great pride in employing farming practices that both promote soil health and sustainability, as well as improve the bottom line.  See the "About Us" page to learn more.
