Innovation is the lifeblood of agriculture, and Agri-Trade is where agricultural producers get to experience it first- hand. Each year, companies are invited to enter their newest ideas and advancements into the Ag Innovations program.


This year will mark the 12th year of the program and we are taking it to a whole new level. We are excited to announce that a $20,000 grand prize will be awarded to one winner of five finalists that will go head to head and compete on Thursday, November 7th at 3:00 p.m. at Agri-Trade in the Frontier room.


Using a Dragon’s Den style format, each finalist will be given five minutes to present to a panel of judges for the$20,000 prize. Attendees will help select the winner of our “Farmers Choice Award” who will receive $5,000.


“The top five finalists are from all different sectors of agriculture and we cannot wait to see them compete head- to-head at Agri-Trade.” comments Rod Bradshaw, Ag Innovations Committee Chair and Innisfail area crop and vegetable producer. “The technology is diversifying every year, and the ideas keep getting better. This competition gives finalists an opportunity to make the perfect pitch to an audience of qualified buyers.”
