Who We Are

Kyle is the visionary behind Agricair.  He began working with an IT company in 1997, and in 2000 started his own IT solutions company for businesses.  In 2001 he was approached about his first dairy, to connect two locations through a wireless network.  From there his work with dairies expanded by word of mouth and he created Michigan Dairy Tech in 2012.  He expanded the business from providing computer networking to surveillance, AFI automation systems and PLC applications all over the country.  Working closely with many large producers, he identified the need for artificial intelligence built into their surveillance systems to help with everyday management tasks.  With Kyle’s drive and motivation to accomplish things others cannot, he’s the ideal leader of this dynamic team.  

Hilary has spent her life passionate about the dairy industry.  She worked for several years on dairies of varying sizes gaining knowledge in areas of the operation including business practice and animal well-being.  She completed the Ag Tech Dairy Management Program at Michigan State University.  She then transferred to Cornell University to complete her Bachelor of Dairy Science and Food Industry Marketing.  She spent her time right after college with a food retailer/wholesaler working in merchandising and human resources.  She then re-entered the dairy industry joining a dairy services cooperative as a Dairy Herd Information Specialist, Team Lead, and Dairy Herd Consultant.  Hilary’s varying experiences in a corporate structure as well as working in pivotal roles on dairies makes her a strong leader and asset to the long-term vision of Agricair.
