Manitoba Ag Days 2020 featured the new Innovation Showcase, showing off the latest and greatest in farming technology.
32 inventions competed in 7 categories including agronomics, farm safety, agribusiness solutions, ag tech, ag equipment, animal and livestock, and farm-built solutions.
The winner of the agribusiness solutions category was Combyne by Farmlead.com.
CEO of Farmlead, Brennan Turner, was happy to have won.
“It’s exciting, we love Manitoba Ag Days,” said Turner. “Especially for the reason that they promote innovation, and bring in all the innovation to one simple location for everyone to see.”
Combyne is a free online grain market place allowing farmers and grain buyers to meet, and establish possible trading relationships. Producers can call and message possible buyers from anywhere in North America through the app.
“Our mission is to make cash grain trade easy,” said Turner. “The Combyne marketplace is an easy operation to manage.”
19 of the top 20 grain buyers in North America use the platform to buy their grain, but Turner says that they don’t want to restrict who producers do business with.
Everyone using the platform has to go through a credit check to make sure they are a legitimate customer.
Turner says that there are no restrictions as to what crop producers can sell on Combyne.
Combyne is available through the apple and android app stores and on farmlead.com
