Mark Hanna - Ag Ventures Alliance Board Member, AgVA Member, and AgLaunch Farmers LLC member - joined Margaret Oldham, VP of Innovation at AgLaunch, for a conversation recorded at Tech Hub LIVE about putting farmers at the center of agricultural innovation.
What if farmers could do more than simply buy the next ag technology - and instead help test it, improve it, invest in it, and potentially own a piece of it?
The episode explores how Ag Ventures Alliance and AgLaunch are creating opportunities for farmers to get involved earlier with agtech startups through real-world farm trials, farmer feedback, investment opportunities, Countryside Angels, and farmer equity.
Mark brings the farmer and investor perspective to the conversation, sharing why producers should be paying attention to emerging companies long before they become household names.
Give the episode a listen and hear how farmers can have a seat at the table while the next generation of agricultural technology is being built.
