Time is running out to apply for American Farm Bureau’s Ag Innovation Challenge.
It offers rural entrepreneurs a chance to participate in a contest similar to Shark Tank at the Farm Bureau’s Convention. Previous participants say even if they did not take home a grand prize, their business would not have taken off without the competition.
“We looked at this as even if we walk away with $0, there’s folks within those rooms, there’s access to contacts, you’re going to see a lot of people, you’re going to rub shoulders with people who you never would have met. The cash is great, but honestly, it’s the contacts, it’s the relationships, it’s the exposure that you’re just not going to get if you hunker down in your office and just focus on your screen all day.”
Applications are due at the end of April. Click HERE to learn more and apply.
