It was great making a quick visit with Bob Bess from Sunrise FS to congratulate him on his retirement!

Bob has been a great partner to Vertical Software over the years, and we truly appreciate the relationship we’ve built with him and Sunrise FS.

Throughout his career, Bob has worn a lot of hats—from Marketing Manager and Special Projects Manager to Havana Terminal Manager, and most recently Fertilizer Procurement Manager out of the Virginia office.

Thank you, Bob, for the partnership, support, and many years of working together. Congratulations on a well-earned retirement! We wish you nothing but the best in this next chapter.

As we celebrate our nation's freedom, we hope you enjoy time with family and friends, great food off the grill, and a spectacular fireworks show.

Thank you for your continued partnership. We wish you a safe, fun, and happy Fourth of July! 🎆🌭🍔🇺🇸

Happy Independence Day!

⚾🌽 What an incredible Vertical Software Ag Night with the Peoria Chiefs! 🌽⚾

It was great to see so many FFA members and supporters come together for a night celebrating agriculture and leadership. One of the highlights was recognizing the newly elected Illinois FFA State Officers and celebrating the bright future of our industry.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, Barnyard Discoveries, and everyone who attended and contributed. Because of your support, we were able to raise funds for the Illinois Foundation FFA and help invest in the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Thank you for making Ag Night such a success—we couldn't have done it without you!
