Farm Progress AGTech: A New Era in Agricultural Innovation
BOONE, Iowa, Sept. 1, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – At the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, the company announced the launch of Farm Progress AGTech, a year-round ecosystem designed to connect farmers, technology innovators, and industry stakeholders, accelerating the transformation of agriculture. This platform aims to facilitate collaboration across the agricultural value chain through live events, media products, and community building, thereby bridging the gap between innovation and practical application.
Addressing Critical Need for Trusted Agricultural Innovation Platform
The agricultural technology sector is growing rapidly, with market valuations projected to nearly double from $24 billion to $43 billion by 2030. However, there remains a significant gap between the development of innovations and their implementation on farms. Farm Progress AGTech seeks to bridge this gap by fostering continuous dialogue among developers, farmers, agronomists, and other stakeholders.

Farm Progress AGTech integrates four key components for ongoing engagement:
-
AGTech Flagship Event: An annual gathering showcasing technology demonstrations, networking opportunities, and educational sessions.
-
AGTech Pavilions: Dedicated spaces at trusted Farm Progress events featuring ag-tech companies, curated content sessions, and live demos.
-
AGTech Media Products: Year-round engagement through newsletters, an online content platform, and a technology buyers’ guide focused on transformative products.
-
FP: AGTech Community: Exclusive gatherings for farmers, ranchers, and service providers, enabling regular engagement and peer community-building.
Together, these components position Farm Progress AGTech as a comprehensive destination for agricultural innovation.
