Midland Co.
Jackson Kimle, Founder & President
Located in central Iowa, Midland Co, is a land-based seadfood company dedicated to raising sustainable, ethical, and delicious seafood.
UPDATE as of June 29th: Completed Midland Co. Shrimp Nursery!
There are two main parts to our systems - the shrimp culture tanks and the water treatment system with our Algae-Based RAS (recirculating aquaculture system) technology. From the shrimp tanks, the water circulates to our water treatment where the algae filters the effluent water. So in a way, we raise two living organisms to cohabitate in a symbiotic relationship. Both we have to care for and make sure they are comfortable and happy.
ReEnvision Ag, Inc.
Jayson Ryner, Founder
The ReEnvision Ag Planter system allows farmers to be the best stewards of the environment by reducing tillage and allowing the soil to be healthier. The soil is our biggest asset and we want to protect it. We don’t want it to erode or degrade.
Our source of competitive advantage lies in the intellectual property of our SeedSpike™ planting system. The entire row crop planting industry is monolithic as they all use a set of double disc openers to create a seed trench. ReEnvision Ag and our planter system hold the only provisional patent on a system of placing the seeds using a cone-shaped dibble to plant the seeds in a precise location at an exact spacing. This system widens the planting window, optimizes planting depth and spacing, and minimizes soil contact compared to currently used technology.
Insignum AgTech, LLC
Kyle Mohler, Founder & CEO
We enable crops to use their pigments to talk. Farmers get the power to proactively optimize growth no matter which problems nature throws in the way, like diseases, insect pests, or fertility loss.
Visible natural colors; purple, red, or orange, ‘flare’ to signal specific problems. The clear pigment change can be seen with the naked eye and cameras driving through the field or flying overhead. Farmers can decisively address issues precisely where, exactly when, and only if needed. Acre by acre, plant by plant.
