Young, Beginning and Small (YBS) farmers are key to the future of agriculture, and technology solutions can play a pivotal role in their success. To solve challenges faced by this group, AgFirst and SC State 1890 Research and Extension recently partnered to host a Hackathon that brought students, ag experts and technology leaders together to explore how YBS farmers can use innovative solutions to improve their productivity and sustainability. We are grateful for this powerful partnership that unites diverse talents and drives meaningful progress in agriculture. Thank you to SC State for putting together this video capturing the event, AgFirst partners AgSouth Farm Credit and ArborOne Farm Credit for their participation and to all of the event sponsors who helped make this event a success.
