About this update from Ag Growth International Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nWINNIPEG, Nov. 17, 2011 /CNW/ - Ag Growth International Inc. (TSX: AFN)\n (\"Ag Growth\") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (\"TSX\") has accepted Ag Growth's Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course\n Issuer Bid (the \"Bid\") to purchase for cancellation, as Ag Growth considers advisable from\n time to time, up to a maximum of 994,508 of Ag Growth's issued and\n outstanding common shares (\"Common Shares\").

Other than sales of Common Shares by certain\n directors and officers of Ag Growth (the proceeds of which will be used\n in part to satisfy certain tax liabilities related to the vesting of\n Common Shares under Ag Growth's equity compensation plans), no director\n or senior officer of Ag Growth intends to sell sec...
