Start the day off by hearing from three experts about the current AgTech landscape in the Midwest, the United States, and internationally. Matt Foley of FMC Ventures, Ben Williamson of Invest Nebraska, and Michael Jung of Grit Road Partners will be leading this conversation.

Two AgTech Robotic Startups will be demonstrating their technology. Startups will include: ALA Engineering will be showcasing its autonomous feed truck, and Barn Owl Precision Agriculture will be showcasing its autonomous micro-tractor.

This panel of Midwest ag producers and service providers will give a true insight into what they look for in the technology they adapt to their operations.

Choose three topics and rotate to engage in short, fast-paced discussions led by experts in the field. Previously called 'Roundtable Discussions,' this agenda item was a favorite from the 2023 conference.

Hear from three startup founders who have taken their AgTech companies from 1-10. Jackson Stansell of Sentinel Fertigation, Chafik Barbar of Marble Technologies, and Alain Goubau of Combyne Ag.

Mark Theuerkauf and Alex Russomagno from AGCO Ventures will close the day with a high-energy keynote speech.

Honor the startups that have graduated from The Combine Incubator in the past year and discuss key reflections from the day's agenda.

The conference will wrap up with a Happy Hour & Networking portion of the event.
