Products winning the 2003 AE50 awards represent
the best and the brightest 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, biological, and related systems engineering professions. The expert panel
selected the best of products first introduced to the marketplace during 2002.
These products are expected to save producers time, costs, and labor while
improving user safety.
Problem solving is a major goal in designs
whether one is developing a better way to spread manure, water a golf course,
or monitor weather conditions. Environmental concerns must also be factored in
while keeping production and operating costs low.
The annual AE50 program has been honoring
engineering achievements for more than a decade. Past winners include companies
of all sizes throughout the world.
Many of the new ideas are patented and their
names trademarked. Some may become household words in the future. Others will
be improved upon as technology advances.
From improved tractors and implements to computer
software and high-tech electronic measuring devices, the 2003 AE50 winners
cover a gamut of devices. The AE50 is the only awards program of its kind to
reward companies for developments in specific areas of agricultural, food, and
biological systems.
