Farmers Business Network Invites Entrepreneurs to Showcase Latest in Agtech Innovation to Premier Farmers

Farmers Business Network (FBN) is organizing an agtech startup showcase at its upcoming Farmer2Farmer conference to give agtech innovators the chance to present their technologies to some of the industry’s earliest tech adopters for real-time farmer feedback.

FBN, an independent farmer-to-farmer network that focuses on farm benchmarking, real-world seed performance, input optimization, and purchasing, as well as crop marketing, also wants to give its members exposure to the latest in agricultural innovation.

FBN is inviting agtech startups at any stage to apply to present their technologies in front of an expected audience of more than 3,000 farmers in Omaha in December. Selected startups will also be provided with exhibition space at the three-day conference where they have the chance to further interact with their farmer member base.

Elderly couple

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.

The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great... I would recommend it very highly.'

The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'

The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'what is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know...the one that's red and has thorns.'

'Do you mean a rose?'

'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'
