Agri, waarin Die Boer / The Farmer geïnkorporeer word, is Agri SA se tweemaandelike digitale tydskrif. 'n Krisis bring in baie gevalle die beste in mense na vore. Dit is ook waar dat moeiliker tye innovering versnel, wat ons uiteindelik op beter plekke bring as waar ons was vóór die krisis begin het. Ons sien dit nou terwyl die onstuimigheid as gevolg van die Korona-virus wêreldwyd voortwoed. Juis omdat dit so ‘n groot negatiewe impak op mense en die besigheidswêreld het, dwing dit ons om nuwe oplossings dalk vinniger te implementeer as wat ons in normale omstandighede sou. Vir Agri SA en Agri-tydskrif is dit vir seker waar. Ons kan as gevolg van die nasionale inperking nie die nuutste uitgawe van Agri druk en versprei nie, hoewel die werk om dit te doen reeds afgehandel is. Ons moes daarom slim planne maak om die implementering van ons digitale tydskrif vroeër te implementeer as wat ons aanvanklik beplan het. Die goeie nuus is dat ons nou gereed is om dit te doen en die digitale publikasie in die volgende twee weke aan al ons lesers beskikbaar sal wees. Hierdie digitale platform is gebruikersvriendelik, modern en gerieflik. Toegang tot inligting is iets wat ons vir ons lede maklik wil maak, en die ontwikkeling van Agri se digitale formaat is ‘n manier waarop ons kan verseker dat ons lesers ingelig bly. Ons sien uit na hierdie nuwe era van inligting deel en glo dat julle net so opgewonde daaroor gaan wees soos ons.

Agri, which incorporates Die Boer / The Farmer, is Agri SA's bi-monthly digital magazine. In many cases, a crisis brings out the best in people. It is also true that difficult times tend to accelerate innovation, which eventually brings us to places even better than where we were before the crisis began. This is especially apparent as the turbulence caused by the Coronavirus spreads worldwide. The huge negative impact on people and the business world, is exactly what forced us to implement new solutions, perhaps faster than we would in normal circumstances. This is certainly true for Agri SA and AGRI magazine. Due to the national lockdown, we are unable to print and distribute the latest edition of AGRI, although the magazine is done and ready for print. We, therefore, had to make innovative plans to implement the digital version of our magazine sooner than we had initially planned. The good news is that we are now ready to do so and the digital publication will be available to all our readers in the next two weeks. This digital platform is user-friendly, modern and convenient. Access to information is something we want to make easy for our members, and the development of AGRI’s digital format is a way to ensure that our readers stay informed. We look forward to this new era of sharing information and believe that you will be just as excited about it as we are.
