Precision Agriculture Scholarship Contest

There are many reasons that farmers may want to adopt precision agriculture, such as reducing costs, reducing waste, increasing profits, and reducing farming’s impact on the environment. For today's students, the motivation may lean more towards the last reason: environmental benefits of protecting the planet.

Farms.com, AgCareers.com & De Lacy Executive are pleased to announce a contest for a chance to win one of three US $2,000 scholarships for students who have a precision agriculture idea that will have a positive impact on the environment.

In addition to the US $2,000 scholarship prize, the winners, as determined by online voting, will be invited to participate in a Student Panel as part of Farm.com Precision Ag Virtual Conference in November 2020, where they will have the opportunity to present their thesis idea in more detail to farmers attending the Farms.com Virtual Precision Agriculture Conference and Trade Show.
