Farm Bureau Ag Innovation Challenge

 

The American Farm Bureau Federation, in partnership with Farm Credit, is accepting online applications for the 2022 Farm Bureau Ag Innovation Challenge through August 20th.

The national business competition showcases U.S. startup companies that are providing innovative solutions to either traditional or new and emerging challenges faced by America’s farmers, ranchers and rural communities.

Farm Bureau will award a total of $165,000 in startup funds through the competition.

Farm Bureau and Farm Credit will select ten startup companies to compete as semi-finalists at the AFBF Convention in January 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The ten semi-finalist teams will be announced in October.

Entrepreneurs must be Farm Bureau members to qualify as top ten semi-finalists.

Applicants who are not Farm Bureau members can join a state Farm Bureau of their choice.

Detailed eligibility guidelines, the competition timeline, videos and profiles of past winners, along with the application process, are all available online.
