St Joseph, Mich--Resource magazine and the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers have announced the winners of the 2020 AE50 awards.
This year’s winners represent the diversity of agricultural and biological engineering, as well as the variety of companies—of all sizes and specializations—that continue to bring advanced technology to the marketplace. The top ten winners are now eligible for the prestigious Davidson Prize, presented jointly with the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
Several companies earned multiple AE50 awards. They include Claas, CNH, John Deere, Kuhn, New Holland, RealmFive, Sinclair Systems, and Sukup Manufacturing.
