Two days of real grower voices, honest feedback, and practical wisdom for our agtech founders. Here's what unfolded.

This week our 2026 HARVEST Agtech Accelerator cohort came together for the first time in an immersive bootcamp packed with real grower voices, investor wisdom, and hands-on farm tech.

From unpacking why agtech adoption is still too slow (hint: it's systemic, not the growers) to honest conversations about data ownership, integration challenges, and what farmers actually need — this cohort got the unfiltered version.

Highlights included:
🎤 A grower panel including early adopters Brad Jones and Belinda Lay that pulled no punches on integration that pulled no punches on integration, data ownership, and the trust deficit in agtech
💡 Simon Foley's Trust / Choice / Cash framework for building sustainably
📈 Matthew Macfarlane's 20-year investor perspective — and why founder quality beats everything
🌏 Hilbrand Kuiken from EOX Tractors brought a global scaleup perspective — challenging the idea that ag is too tough for startups and unpacking what it really takes to grow an agtech business internationally.
🚜 A hands-on farm tech tour at Waldijup Farms with Joel Kelly

The message across every session: start with the problem, not the product. Build trust. Know your economics. And show up in person.

WA's agtech moment is here — and this cohort is helping lead it. 🌱
