With so many ways to meet agricultural innovation at Ag in Motion Discovery Plus, it’s hard to believe the show has even more to offer — but it does. The Innovations Program, Field of STARS, and AIM Lounge provide additional opportunities for registered guests to engage virtually.
The Innovations Program, which returns to Ag in Motion Discovery Plus this year, is designed to highlight agricultural innovations ready to come to market or still at the conceptual stage. All exhibiting companies have been invited to participate. Finalists and one award winner will be chosen from each of the following categories: (1) plant and soil science; (2) animal and livestock; (3) agriculture equipment; and (4) agribusiness services. Winners will be announced online July 21, 2020, and the winning entries will be shared through a unique entry point on the Ag in Motion Discovery Plus online platform.
