The third wave of Ever.Ag’s agentic AI rollout arrives at Tech Hub Live, bringing FieldAlytics and Merchant Ag to ag retailers, cooperatives, and growers

DES MOINES, Iowa, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ever.Ag today announced the expansion of Everett, its Ag Decision Engine, to agribusiness—the third wave of an agentic AI rollout that began with dairy in April and expanded to livestock and animal protein in June. The announcement is being made at Tech Hub Live, where Ever.Ag is a key sponsor, at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. Everett connects data across a customer’s operation with Ever.Ag intelligence, turning insights into decisions by orchestrating, evolving, and creating workflows woven into the products ag retailers, cooperatives, and agronomists already rely on.

“We said from the beginning that this rollout would go deep in every vertical we serve,” said Ever.Ag CEO Scott Sexton. “FieldAlytics monitors over 220 million active acres. Merchant Ag powers ag retailers and cooperatives across the country. Bringing Everett into those products means agentic AI is now at work for the people who advise, supply, and serve growers every day.”

Agentic AI Built for Ag Retail and the Grower Adviser Network
Ag retailers and cooperatives manage agronomic advice, logistics, grain merchandising, energy delivery, and grower relationships simultaneously, and the margin for a missed signal is real. Everett proactively monitors what matters across that complexity, recommends actions with full context, and enables execution without requiring teams to jump between systems.

“Whether you’re a sales agronomist looking for the next opportunity to improve a grower’s yield, a grain merchandiser settling contracts under deadline, or a dispatcher routing energy deliveries ahead of a cold snap, Everett arrives knowing how operations like yours work and where those decisions happen,” said Simon Drake, Chief Product Officer. “General-purpose AI tools don’t.”

Everett works within each customer’s own data environment. Data stays within their operation and is never shared with or used to inform recommendations for other customers. Everett’s intelligence deepens as it learns the patterns of each customer’s own operation, so the value compounds for that customer without their data ever leaving it. This approach is reinforced by Ever.Ag’s SOC 2 Type II compliance, reflecting decades of experience safeguarding customer data with rigorous, independently validated controls.

What Everett Can Do: A Few Examples
FieldAlytics — Everett predicts which growers are likely to order, and in what quantities, so sales teams can pre-sell and operations can pre-position before the call comes in. Everett delivers role-aware summaries on every FieldAlytics report, giving growers, agronomists, and managers plain-language insights and clear next steps. It also continuously monitors connected equipment, detecting silent connectivity failures before operators encounter them.

Merchant Ag — Everett delivers a unified view of every customer across divisions, surfacing churn signals and expansion opportunities before they would be identified manually. For co-op finance teams, Everett models patronage scenarios and produces board-ready outputs in minutes. Everett also automates AP entry, reading and processing expense and product invoices for validation. Additional capabilities include energy demand forecasting and route optimization, grain settlement validation, and cross-division credit risk scoring and collections prioritization.

What’s Next
The expansion of Everett is not finished. Additional products across dairy, livestock, and agribusiness will carry Everett capabilities in the months ahead, further deepening the intelligence available to customers within each vertical.

“Every product we add makes the value compound,” Sexton added. “We’re not done within any of these verticals. And Everett keeps getting better. The more a customer uses it, the more it understands their operation, and the more value it delivers back to them.”

OKOTOKS, AB, July 20, 2026 /CNW/ — Replenish Nutrients Holding Corp. (CSE: ERTH) (OTC: VVIVF) (“Replenish” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) dated July 17, 2026 with SRC Agrominerals (“SRC”) to support and accelerate Replenish’s near-term growth, including an expansion of the Beiseker facility (the “Beiseker Pelletization Expansion”). Additionally, Mr. Tim Close, the CEO of SRC, and Dr. David Morris, the founder and chairman of Morris Group Canada will join Replenish’s Board of Directors as a director and board advisor, respectively, with Dr. Morris being put forth as a director at Replenish’s next annual shareholder meeting.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, SRC will (a) subscribe for 50 million units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of $7.5 million (the “Equity Investment”), each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.225 for a period of four years from closing, and (b) purchase a senior secured (second lien) convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Debenture Investment”, and together with the Equity Investment, the “Strategic Investment”). The Debenture will bear fixed interest of 10% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or Common Shares at the Company’s election, will mature four years from closing, and will be convertible into Common Shares at a price of $0.225 per Common Share.

As part of the Strategic Investment, the parties will enter into a supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) for the supply and delivery to Replenish of carbonatite, a calcium, phosphorus, trace-mineral and microbial-rich resource used for its soil-enhancing properties, and an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), as described below.

Highlights:

SRC will take an initial 19.9% interest (non-diluted) in Replenish through the $7.5 million Equity Investment, providing Replenish access to key growth capital and a long-term strategic partner.Each Unit includes one-half of a Warrant – 25 million Warrants in aggregate – exercisable at $0.225 for four years from closing, subject to an acceleration provision if the Common Shares trade at or above $0.28 for twenty consecutive trading days, representing potential additional proceeds to the Company of up to approximately $5.63 million for future growth.SRC will invest $7.5 million, pursuant to the Debenture Investment, representing flexible and cost-effective capital during a period of rapid expansion.Aggregate investment proceeds will support a separate 150,000 metric tonne pelletizing facility at the Company’s existing Beiseker property, along with additional storage, load-out and processing infrastructure supporting the existing Beiseker granulation facility and the new Beiseker Pelletization Expansion.The Supply Agreement provides a long-term supply of carbonatite to be incorporated into Replenish’s proprietary regenerative fertilizer products, securing a key input that enhances Replenish’s product line.In connection with the Strategic Investment, Tim Close, CEO of SRC Agrominerals, will be appointed to the Replenish board. Mr. Close brings significant leadership and expertise across capital markets, corporate strategy, operational execution and commercial governance. Mr. Close previously served as CEO of Ag Growth International (“AGI”), a large, publicly traded global leader in storage, handling and blending equipment for the fertilizer, seed, grain and food-processing sectors. During his 10-year tenure, Mr. Close led AGI’s transformation from a regional provider of grain-handling equipment into a global leader in food infrastructure, with revenue growing fivefold during that span. He built and led a high-performing team, strengthened operational execution and advanced the company’s global growth strategy, including overseeing the deployment of more than $700 million of capital across 19 strategic transactions. Dr. David Morris, Director of SRC Agrominerals, will also join the Replenish board as an advisor and will be put forward as a director at Replenish’s next annual shareholder meeting. Dr. Morris is the founder and former Chairman of Morris Group Canada Inc., which provided innovative solutions for the construction and resource sectors across Canada and South America, including modular construction, workforce housing, site services, labour management, and safety training. Dr. Morris brings deep operational expertise at a time when Replenish is moving into significant operational and commercial expansion.

CEO Commentary

     Neil Wiens, CEO, Replenish Nutrients

“This strategic relationship marks a pivotal step in Replenish’s growth strategy,” said Neil Wiens, CEO of Replenish Nutrients. “SRC’s investment gives us the capital to accelerate our Beiseker pelletizing expansion, while our new supply agreement gives Replenish access to a key input for our regenerative fertilizer platform. Beyond the capital, we’re gaining a strategic partner in Tim, David and the SRC team, whose operational and capital markets experience will be a significant asset to Replenish as we scale.”

     Tim Close, CEO, SRC Agrominerals

“Replenish has built a capital-efficient, scalable platform for regenerative fertilizer production, and this investment reflects our confidence in their team and their growth trajectory,” said Tim Close, CEO of SRC Agrominerals. “Pairing Replenish’s manufacturing and distribution capabilities with SRC’s carbonatite reserves creates a compelling opportunity to bring the proven soil health benefits of Spanish River Carbonatite to growers across North America. I look forward to joining the Replenish board and supporting the Company through its next phase of growth.”

Beiseker Pelletization Expansion & Facility Pipeline

The planned owned Beiseker Pelletization Expansion will consist of a separate 150,000 metric tonne pelletizing facility, along with additional storage, load-out and processing infrastructure supporting the existing Beiseker granulation facility and the new Beiseker Pelletization Expansion. The Beiseker Pelletization Expansion is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2028.

The Company expects annualized production from its existing owned and licensed facilities is made up of the following:

Owned Beiseker granulation facility:                                               24,000 metric tonnesOwned Beiseker colony pelletization facility:                                  12,000 metric tonnesLicensed Farmers Union Enterprises (FUE) pelletization facility:   100,000 metric tonnesLicensed MJ Ag pelletization facility:                                               10,000 metric tonnes

The Beiseker Pelletization Expansion will be on the same site as the Company’s existing Beiseker granulation facility and will have no impact to the current production from the Beiseker granulation facility. Upon completion of the new Beiseker Pelletization Expansion, both facilities will benefit from additional shared storage, processing and load-out infrastructure. These capacity estimates have been prepared by management in good faith based on information available to management as of the date hereof and actual results may differ from these expectations.

Consistent with previous guidance, the Company expects gross margins of the new Beiseker Pelletization Expansion to be 25% to 35%. Replenish expects the new pelletization facility to be completed in the first quarter of 2028.

Strategic Investment

Equity Investment – SRC will subscribe for 50 million Units at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of $7.5 million, each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one-half of one Warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.225 for a period of four years from closing of the Equity Investment, subject to an acceleration provision if the Company’s common shares trade at or above $0.28 for twenty consecutive trading days, in accordance with the terms of the warrant certificate governing the Warrants.

Debenture Investment – SRC will also purchase the Debenture in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million. The Debenture will bear fixed interest of 10% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or Common Shares at the Company’s election, will mature four years from closing of the Debenture Investment, and will be convertible into Common Shares at a price of $0.225 per Common Share.

Proceeds from the Strategic Investment shall be applied to the Beiseker Pelletization Expansion, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2028, working capital, inventory purchases, debt repayment, and general corporate purposes.

Closing of the Equity Investment is expected to occur on or about July 24, 2026 and closing of the Debenture Investment is expected to occur on or about August 14, 2026. In accordance with applicable securities laws, the Units and the Debenture will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day following the date of issuance. Closing of the Equity Investment and the Debenture Investment is subject to certain customary conditions, including the receipt of all necessary consents, regulatory approvals and the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Supply Agreement

On closing of the Equity Investment, Replenish and SRC will enter into the Supply Agreement for the supply and delivery to Replenish of carbonatite, a calcium, phosphorus, trace-mineral and microbial-rich resource used for its soil-enhancing properties. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Replenish has agreed to purchase a minimum specified quantity per year of carbonatite over a 10-year period, and has agreed to ensure its products contain a minimum specified percentage of carbonatite, subject to product efficacy optimization. Payment terms for the initial volumes are $1 million upon execution of the Supply Agreement.

     About Carbonatite

Carbonatite is a carbonate-rich igneous rock formed from volcanic activity. The Spanish River deposit is distinguished by high concentrations of loosely bonded calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, along with trace rare earth elements — and, notably, without the radioactive or toxic heavy metals found in many other carbonatite deposits worldwide.

What makes the mineral agriculturally valuable is its reactivity: its fragile primary mineral structure breaks down quickly once applied to soil, releasing nutrients directly into the root zone rather than remaining chemically locked in rock. In its natural setting, this process has visibly transformed the surrounding landscape — the deposit has saturated the local water table with calcium, phosphorus, and potassium, producing decades of exceptional forest growth around the site.

That same effect has been documented repeatedly in independent and field research. A Wilfrid Laurier University study1 found that SRC raises and stabilizes soil pH, more than doubles beneficial soil microbe populations, supports mycorrhizal fungi, and increases seed weight and crop yield at recommended application rates. Trials2 on wheat, soybeans, and cucumbers have shown statistically significant gains in root and shoot biomass, and soybean trials recorded a marked increase in nitrogen-fixing root nodules. In a multi-year Norfolk Soil and Crop Improvement Association trial3 on asparagus, SRC-treated plots produced 75% greater root mass, brix (sugar/nutrient) readings nearly double the control plots (12–13% vs. 7–8%), and a 10%+ yield increase — with no supplemental fertilizer. A test plot4 at Kerr Farms in Chatham, Ontario, a carbonatite application suppressed aluminum toxicity in soil by 78% while increasing plant calcium uptake by over 200% within five weeks, alongside improved crop density, weed suppression, and overall soil tilth and microbial activity.

Collectively, this body of evidence positions carbonatite as a natural, reactive mineral platform for regenerative soil fertility — restoring soil chemistry, rebuilding microbial ecosystems, and improving nutrient uptake without reliance on synthetic inputs.

Investor Rights Agreement

On closing of the Equity Investment, Replenish and SRC will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, SRC will have the right to nominate one director to Replenish’s board of directors and the right to participate in future equity issuances of the Company to maintain SRC’s pro rata equity interest on the terms set out in the Investor Rights Agreement. Following closing of the Debenture Investment, SRC will have the right to nominate two directors to Replenish’s board of directors.

Following the closing of the Equity Investment, SRC CEO, Tim Close, will join Replenish’s board of directors, and SRC Director, Dr. David Morris, will join the Replenish board as an advisor until he is put forward as a director at Replenish’s next annual shareholder meeting.

New solution enables staff instant two-way communication to reach inmates

ST. LOUIS, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HomeWAV, the leader in simple, secure inmate communication and technology solutions, is proud to announce the launch of Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™, a groundbreaking, exclusive new product feature that gives correctional facilities a powerful new way to communicate directly with inmates, streamlining operations while improving visibility, accountability, and information delivery across the facility.

Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™ gives facility staff a secure, instant way to send text-based messages directly to inmates. While Forms provides a valuable, guided outlet for inmates to submit the right information to staff, it does not allow staff to initiate those communication threads when outreach is needed. Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™ fills that gap while creating guardrails that help staff confirm inmates have reviewed a message and prevent teams from being inundated with unnecessary replies.

“As we invested in strengthening our Forms platform, we continually looked for ways our system could better support administrators throughout their daily operations where every minute matters,” said Andrew Lewis, Senior Director of Product at HomeWAV. “Through that process, we identified a need for a faster, more efficient way for staff to initiate communication. Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™ transforms routine communication from a manual process into a secure, text-based conversation, allowing facilities to communicate with individuals or groups in seconds while maintaining the visibility and controls required in a correctional environment.”

Launching in a phased approach, Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™ will be available on both HomeWAV kiosks and tablets. This exclusive feature gives facilities an innovative, purpose-built product capability competitors do not offer, helping staff quickly share housing changes, program schedules, facility-wide announcements, and other critical updates without relying on time-consuming in-person communication.

Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™ empowers facilities to:

Deliver secure messages to individual inmates, specific PODs, or the entire facility in secondsReduce staff time spent communicating routine announcements and operational updatesMaintain a centralized, trackable record of communications for greater visibility and accountabilityRequire inmate acknowledgment for critical messages when confirmation is neededControl inmate response permissions based on facility policies and operational requirementsImprove coordination across shifts, departments, and housing units

The launch of Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™ reinforces HomeWAV’s commitment to developing innovative technology that helps correctional facilities operate more efficiently, communicate more effectively, and maintain safer, better-connected environments for staff and inmates alike.

Current HomeWAV facility partners interested in enabling Staff-to-Inmate Messaging™ should contact their dedicated Regional Operations Manager to learn more.
