Our Commitment to the Voice of the Farmer Starts Here

As outlined in Idealyst's Future State of Ag report, the risk environment is escalating for producers. Farmers and ranchers need access to better solutions -- solutions that solve real problems, help them succeed, and ultimately, derive their maximum farm potential.
Idealyst Innovation is building an alliance to solve significant issues that have hindered ag innovation to-date. Our approach connects ag solutions with the real business needs of farmers and ranchers and establishes an aligned distribution channel for those solutions, overcoming the historical adoption and distribution barriers the industry has experienced. It also empowers our alliance members as trusted advisors, holistically supporting the long-term success and growth of their farmer-customers.
Core to our mission is amplifying the voice of farmers so we can cultivate and deliver innovation that strengthens them. Our unique alliance unites trusted agribusinesses and solution providers across the agri-food value chain to foster a farmer-centric innovation ecosystem.
To deliver on our commitment to the voice of the farmer, Idealyst has launched a Farmer Innovation Council.
This Council will ensure that our research, innovation initiatives, and solution development are informed by real-time insights into farm-level challenges and opportunities. By leveraging the expertise of leading farmers from diverse agricultural operations across the country, the Council will identify emerging risks and opportunities, evaluate potential actions, and guide the development of solutions.
Through farmer-centric insights and practical field perspectives, the Council will help us address the most pressing on-farm challenges that threaten farm resilience and national food security.
The Farmer Innovation Council is comprised of leading farmer appointees from Idealyst Innovation Alliance members, as well as innovative producers from successful operations across the country. While the Idealyst Farmer Innovation Council represents diversity in geography and production, one thing that unites us all is a shared commitment to leading an entirely new approach ag innovation. We're not just testing innovations - We're shifting paradigms.
While we will be announcing our Farmer Innovation Council members over the next few weeks, we continually look to engage with innovative, entrepreneurial-minded farmers from all sectors of American agriculture. If you are interested in serving on the Council or know a farmer or rancher who brings a unique perspective, please send us a note. We'd love to talk with you.
Join us in building an intelligence-based, collaborative environment for strengthening American agriculture.
