Products winning the 2000 AE50 awards represent the cream of the crop developed throughout the world for the agricultural, food and biological systems industries.

The innovations highlighted in this issue were chosen from numerous entries in the competition sponsored by Resource. The judges who chose the winners represent all factions of the agricultural, food and biological engineering professions. They selected the best from new products first introduced to the marketplace during 1999. These products are expected to save producers time, costs and labor while improving user safety.

The annual AE50 program has been honoring engineering achievements for more than a decade. Past winners include large companies of all sizes throughout the world.

From improved tractors and implements to computer software and high-tech electronic measuring devices, the 2000 AE50 winners cover a gamut of devices. The AE50 is the only awards program of its kind to reward companies for developments in these areas for agricultural, food and biological systems.
