HOME | HOME MEMBERS ONLY | CONTACT | SEARCH

     The products winning the 2008AE50 awards and featured in this issue represent the best and the brightest developed around the globe for the agricultural, food, and biological systems industries. Award winners include companies of all sizes and varying inventive focus.
     The innovative inventions and designs highlighted herein were selected from numerous entries in the annual AE50 competition sponsored by ASABE’s Resource magazine. As in every year previous, the judges who chose the winners represent all facets of the agricultural, food, biological, and related systems engineering professions. The expert panel picked the best of products first introduced to the marketplace during 2007. As always, these products are expected to save producers time, costs, and labor while improving user safety.
     The annual AE50 program has been encouraging and applauding engineering achievements for two decades. Past winners include companies of all sizes throughout the world.
     The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers is proud to sponsor the AE50, the only awards program of its kind, celebrating companies for developments in specific areas of agricultural, food, and biological systems. Many of the honored, new ideas given awards are patented and their names trademarked. In the future, some may even become house-hold words. Others will be further improved as technology advances. But all who achieved the award strived for excellence, and we are pleased to showcase each one.
     For information on how to enter next year’s competition, please contact Sandy Rutter, 269-429-0300 ext. 345 or rutter@asabe.org. Information on the AE50 and Resource magazine is also available on the ASABE Web site, www.asabe.org.
