The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers has announced the winners of the 2010 AE50 innovation awards.

The winners were announced as ASABE's Agricultural Equipment Technology Conference Jan. 11, and were showcased at the Ag Connect Expo Jan. 13-15 in Orlando, Fla.

The products winning the 2010 AE50 awards 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.

An expert panel picked the best of products first introduced to the marketplace during 2009. As always, these products are expected to save producers time, costs, and labor while improving user safety.
