Why Host This Event In Southwest Michigan?
The Great lakes region is made up of
8 states and 2 countries
This makes marketing in this region difficult for Ag Tech companies.
Growers here don't have a regionally centralized way
to connect with Ag Tech companies and see the equipment at work.
Let's Fix That!
Specialty Crop Growers in the Great Lakes Region have nearly infinite water, good available land, and close proximity to over 50 million consumers. They don’t have labor. This is an existential crisis!
Of the 8 Great Lakes states + Ontario all within less than a days drive to Southwest Michigan:
999,970 acres of vegetables grown
395,598 acres of fruit/berries grown
404,166,011 sq ft of nursery/greenhouse/sod
320+ vegetable growers with over 500 acres
171+ fruit growers with over 250 acres
