Colin has held senior positions with John Deere, Case IH and JCB Canada. In 2010 Colin assumed the role of

to the Company in developing the CX-6 SMART Seeder™ production, marketing and distribution strategies.

equipment distribution, marketing, sales and operations. I have enjoyed working closely with Colin to set up the CX-6 SMART
Seeder™ manufacturing and distributing strategies. His knowledge, expertise and vast network of relationships have played an
instrumental role in our business development to date. Colin is a great fit for Clean Seed as Chief Operating Officer. I look
forward to working with Colin to advance our Smart Seeder commercialization efforts as well as bringing our Smart Seeder into new
markets.”
Colin Rush states, “I am excited and honored to join the operating team at Clean Seed. I accepted the
appointment to the board of directors in 2014 because I recognized the measureable technological leaps Clean Seed had been making
in the agricultural equipment sector while setting new benchmarks. The CX-6 SMART Seeder™ truly optimizes crop
production through the accurate facilitation of precision agriculture - micromanaging input amounts and placement. Clean Seed
has continued to defy expectations not just on the strength of its technologies, but on the strength of the company’s team. I look
forward to contributing to the company’s growth and towards the advancement of the commercialization of the CX-6 SMART Seeder™ in
Canada and around the world”.
