Let’s kickoff the day with an overview of what Bushel sees ahead for the future of agtech.
CEO, Bushel
Change can be difficult to see coming. If you focus on it too much you won’t get anything done, but if you ignore it or laugh at it; that is when your organization can get behind. There are patterns to how change disrupts an industry. Learning how to spot these patterns empowers your organization to see what is coming and be prepared to act.
Get ready for a candid and thought-provoking discussion as Jake sits down with Vance. Known for his fresh perspectives on the ag supply chain and its future, Vance will share his unique viewpoints in a lively conversation. This is also your chance to ask questions and learn more about where the industry is headed.
This session will explore how Bushel makes it simple and seamless to move money—no matter how payments are made. Whether it’s cash, credit, cards, or direct deposit, Bushel provides a complete and flexible solution. We’ll highlight why the Bushel Wallet is becoming the go-to place for farmers to keep and spend their money, and how loan funds flow directly into the system—cutting out manual steps and delays. You’ll also get a look at our card acceptance options, including flat-rate pricing (a simple, predictable fee per transaction) or IC+ (interchange plus) pricing for more detailed cost control. Farmers are ready to adopt digital payments—are you?
Hear directly from our customers about how they’re leveraging Bushel Payments to simplify transactions, improve cash flow, and create a seamless payment experience for their growers. This session will dive into specific strategies, workflows, and real-world examples. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can use to improve payments in your own operation.
Grab coffee, a snack, and hop in the “buddy seat” with attendees and the Bushel Team to build connections and share ideas.
When payments are disjointed, delayed, or lack transparency, agribusinesses suffer. Cash flow becomes unpredictable, back-office teams waste time chasing down payments, and the risk of fraud or error increases. Even worse, customers can become frustrated by limited or outdated payment options. This session explores how agribusinesses can solve these challenges by embracing multiple payment streams—from real-time cash balance accounts to integrated lending and flexible card acceptance. With the right strategy, businesses can reduce risk, get paid faster, and offer a better experience to their farmer customers—no matter how the market shifts.
Take a break, enjoy lunch, network, and engage with product demo stations to get the latest tips and tricks for using the Bushel platform.
This panel brings together top marketing leaders in agribusiness to discuss innovative and practical strategies for connecting with producers. From driving sales for inputs to recruiting farmers to supply grain to processing facilities, the discussion will focus on what’s working in the market today. Panelists will share insights on building trust, understanding farmer needs, and leveraging digital tools to create meaningful engagement and foster long-term customer relationships.
Discover how the full Bushel platform connects business units, streamlines operations, and strengthens relationships with farmer customers. In this session, hear directly from customers who are using the entire suite of Bushel products to drive efficiency and build trust. Walk away with actionable insights on how to maximize the platform’s capabilities to enhance your business and customer relationships.
