Overview
Farmers today are compelled to innovate in both new and familiar ways as a result of changing demographics, squeezing margins from supplier consolidation and increasing global production. Necessity always informs innovation, but what’s interesting is the recent and very dramatic growth of investment and excitement into AgTech companies ($4.6 billion invested in 2015, almost double the amount from 2014*). Join us for a panelist discussion on the AgTech industry and what it means for farmers, farmland owners, and professionals in agriculture on Monday, February 13th.
Panelists
- Guy Turner, Partner, Hyde Park Venture Partners
- Corbett Kull, Sr. Director Engineer & Head of Chicago Office, The Climate Corporation
- Mark Haraburda, CEO, Barchart.com, Inc. (AgriChart)
- Matthew Rooda, Founder, SwineTech, Inc.
