Farm Progress AGTech will facilitate collaboration across the entire agricultural value chain through live events, media products, and community building. As the global leader in agricultural media and events, Farm Progress creates a definitive platform where agricultural innovation meets practical applications. Addressing Critical Need for Trusted Agricultural Innovation Platform The agricultural technology sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, with market valuations projected to nearly double from <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=FLM1gsVA3GHKtBMaaih4qItI1JrE4HrsC6OZm0Kkd4GeOfXyJkIkskATqLi7WhecBiEZRFH-E1O45y6SHWL6i-0lUa2u5io0NLGyTarzUYs4ljRzI2Fs3VtzPLxav_C0z8RhMLhyopy_PEI76ON3FHjXOiSf4NJdLUpycN9hirA4xpOKd_tQz8VEjlPpUOz1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="$24 billion to $43 billion by 2030">$24 billion to $43 billion by 2030</a>. Despite rapid advancement, a significant gap persists between innovation development and on-farm implementation. Farm Progress AGTech will bridge this critical gap by introducing year-round industry connections that enable continuous dialogue between developers, farmers, agronomists, and stakeholders. A Year-Round Platform Connecting Innovation with Practical Application The Farm Progress AGTech ecosystem integrates four components that provide multiple touchpoints for sustained engagement throughout the year: <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom:8pt;">AGTech Flagship Event serves as the annual gathering for a comprehensive conference and innovation showcase. This immersive event features technology demonstrations, networking opportunities, and educational sessions.</li><li style="margin-bottom:8pt;">AGTech Pavilions will feature dedicated booths for ag tech companies, curated stage content sessions, and live demonstrations at the trusted Farm Progress events they already attend.</li><li style="margin-bottom:8pt;">AGTech Media Products maintain year-round engagement through a dedicated newsletter for the AGTech community, an online content platform, and a comprehensive technology buyers’ guide that serves as a year-round tech launch pad. With editorial focus on transformative products in use, these media products keep the agricultural community informed, educated, and connected to the latest innovations between live events.</li><li style="margin-bottom:8pt;">FP: AGTech Community creates an exclusive network through closed executive gatherings targeted at farmers, ranchers, and service providers actively investing in the latest technology. These intimate sessions foster regular engagement across all formats, creating a peer community where technology adopters can share insights, challenges, and best practices in a trusted environment.</li></ul> Together, these four integrated components position Farm Progress AGTech as the one-stop destination for the future of agricultural innovation. “Farm Progress AGTech represents our continuous commitment to advancing agricultural innovation while staying true to our core mission of serving farmers, ranchers, and our industry partners,” says Raymond L. Bianchi, Senior Vice President of Farm Progress. “We are creating a trusted platform to connect the innovators developing tomorrow's solutions with the farmers and ranchers ready to implement them today. This comprehensive ecosystem will accelerate technology adoption, facilitate meaningful partnerships, and ultimately help agriculture meet the challenges of feeding a growing world.” Built on Trust, Designed for Impact: What Makes AGTech Unique The foundation of AGTech's differentiation lies in Farm Progress's unmatched legacy within the agricultural community. Farm Progress has spent decades building relationships, establishing credibility, and demonstrating commitment to farmer success through the Farm Progress Show, regional events, print and digital media, and broadcast channels. Beyond legacy, AGTech's comprehensive ecosystem approach fundamentally changes how the agricultural community engages with innovation. Rather than limiting interaction to a single annual event, Farm Progress AGTech creates year-round engagement through integrated touchpoints for sustained interaction. This sustained interaction accelerates technology adoption by providing continuous support, education, and connection. The first Farm Progress AGTech Pavilion will debut at Husker Harvest Days, September 15-17, 2026, in Grand Island, Nebraska. The Pavilion will feature ag tech exhibitors, as well as daily panel discussions and expert presentations focusing on practical technology adoption and more.
