The AgSharks Competition launched in 2017, and the release said three startup companies have earned seed money to elevate their businesses to the next level. The event is a “pitch” competition where startup companies working on agricultural technologies compete for the opportunity to earn a $250,000 minimum investment and access to farmland to pilot their innovations, according to the release. Entrepreneurs interested in pitching their tech startups at the AgSharks Competition can apply online. Applications close Sept. 6.
