AgLaunch’s national farmer network, founded in Tennessee, took the stage at the Investing in Rural America conference in Asheville, NC. The event was hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in partnership with Rural LISC, and our President and CEO, Pete Nelson, was honored to be invited to present.
The conference closed after three inspiring days with a leadership panel featuring University of Tennessee System President Randy Boyd, an entrepreneur and a good friend of AgLaunch.
Our model is simple: farmers help select, trial, and hold equity in the agtech built for them, and regions build their economic futures around it. Opportunities to share that model with leaders investing in rural communities matter, and we are excited to keep building.
Thank you to the partners who make this work possible: University of Tennessee System, Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, Tennessee Department of Agriculture, LaunchTN, Ag Ventures Alliance, SEDCOR, NSF AgTech Engine in North Dakota, and Knoxville Entrepreneur Center.
