Farmer Idea Exchange (FIE)

The American Farm Bureau Federation sponsors the Farmer Idea Exchange Contest. The contest is designed to surface inventions, equipment modifications, innovative crops, marketing techniques, management systems and farming practices developed by farmers and ranchers. Its purpose is to encourage Farm Bureau farmer/rancher members to share their innovative ideas and help other farmers/ranchers find new ways to cut costs, improve efficiency, protect/improve the environment and increase their net income.

Up to 15 ideas from around the country will be selected to display their winning idea as part of the 2010 AFBF Convention in Seattle, Washington, January 10-11, 2010. This is an informal presentation of the innovations and practices that farmers have developed and used. The winners selected will receive up to $1,500 toward expenses incurred to participate in the AFBF showcase.

Enter your outstanding and innovative idea now. Who knows, you may be showing it off to Farm Bureau members and guests from across the nation in January!
