Like all good things in Agriculture, AgX started as a family project.

I’m CR Scebold, and AgX was born out of an idea (and maybe a little parental scheming) to pull my daughters, Lu and M, into something creative, collaborative, and a whole lot more productive than scrolling TikTok all summer.

Lu, a senior in high school this year, dove headfirst into her Adobe classes this year and discovered she’s got a knack for design, editing, and making things look downright sharp. Give her a blank screen and a deadline, and suddenly she’s a creative powerhouse destined for BIG things (mark my words). AgX became the place where she could stretch those creative muscles and turn ideas into something real — not just school projects stuck in a folder.

M, meanwhile, is in 8th grade and has made it crystal clear that animals are her thing. Horses, cows, pigs — if it walks, trots, or snorts, she’s interested. Naturally, the livestock side of AgX became her personal favorite. She may have let Lu handle the tech side, but when it came to animals? M took the reins!

Together, they spent countless nights laughing, bickering, brainstorming, and more than once debating if x/cattle sounded cooler than x/beef. (Spoiler: They both won. That’s how sisters work.)

For me, the best part wasn’t just building AgX — it was building it with them. We pulled in Grandpa, swapped ideas, shared a lot of “back when I was your age” stories, and took a much-needed break from the digital abyss to do something together. Watching them learn, lead, and create was worth every minute.

Farming runs in the Scebold DNA — eight 8 generations deep on our Iowa Heritage Farm since 1858. Whether these two girls follow that path or blaze a new one, this project gave them a deeper connection to ag, creativity, and the power of sharing knowledge.

AgX is for everyone in ag. We love the idea of community, networking, and sharing ideas and best practices — bringing growers together, helping each other improve, and making agriculture stronger for the future. After all, farmers are feeding the world… they deserve a place to share how they do it.

Thanks for visiting AgX! This project has been built with a lot of heart, late nights, laughter, and maybe just a little sisterly competition. So go ahead — give these girls a like, a share, or a shoutout. Better yet, build your account and start participating in the community today!

Because Ag is better when we learn, share, and grow together.
Welcome to AgX — we’re glad you’re here. 🌱
