    Goals / Remit

    The Gowan Group is a global, family-owned agricultural solutions business headquartered in Yuma, Arizona, U.S.A. Gowan specializes in developing, marketing, and processing agricultural inputs such as crop protection products, seeds, and fertilizers. Founded by Jon Jessen in 1962 and led by his daughter Juli as CEO, Gowan has grown markets in the majority of agricultural regions globally. A deep respect for science and a passion for agriculture drives the Gowan Company to help growers solve their critical pest and plant health issues.
