Farm Tech Days to Include New 'Innovation Square' Display
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 12/17/2014

Visitors to next year's Wisconsin Farm Technology Days in Dane County will be able to check out the new 'Innovation Square' display in the center of Tent City. Farmer-inventors are invited to submit their inventions or innovations for consideration for the exhibit.

Innovations may range from modifications to an existing piece of machinery to a completely new invention. A panel of judges from University Agricultural Engineering Departments around the country will evaluate the entries on predetermined criteria.

A total of four or five farmer innovations will be chosen for exhibit in Innovation Square each year, along with a similar number from agribusiness firms and universities.

There is no cost for the winners to display their items if chosen, but they should be at the show to represent their product to the public.

Applications forms for the Innovation Square project can be found at: www.wifarmtechnologydays.com under 'Exhibitors.' The application deadline is January 15.

Farm Technology Days will be held August 25-27 at Statz Brothers Farm near Sun Prairie.
