For the 2024 season, Grand Farm has 31 field plots from 22 partners and 18 different organizations being managed at its Innovation Campus. Grand Farm works with industry, startups and researchers to develop plots in a real-world farm setting where the companies can demonstrate, research and validate their technology, products or practices.
This year, we’re excited to launch our Startup Plots, which are designed for early-stage startups to test their innovative products and technology. Seven startups from the U.S. and Costa Rica will demonstrate their technology ranging from a no-till planter to biologics, nano fertilizer, biostimulants, colloidal silver for disease control, and genomic early detection.
Grand Farm, powered by Emerging Prairie, is a network of growers, technologists, corporations, startups, educators, policymakers, and investors working together to solve problems in agriculture with applied technology.
The Grand Farm initiative accelerates research and innovation in technology for the farm of the future.
Grand Farm does not take ownership or a vested interest in partners’ intellectual property and refrains from making decisions on IP developed as part of contracts with other organizations.
