Summary: The Farm Bureau Ag Innovation Challenge is a national business competition that showcases U.S. startups developing innovative solutions that address challenges facing America’s farmers, ranchers and rural communities. Now in its 12th year, the Challenge was the first national business competition of its kind focused exclusively on rural entrepreneurs.

The American Farm Bureau Federation, in partnership with Farm Credit, is looking to identify the top entrepreneurs who are addressing both traditional challenges farmers face on their operation, such as access to labor, optimizing yield and reducing operating costs, and entrepreneurs who are addressing new challenges facing farmers and rural communities.
