## Resource

What if farmers weren't just asked to test new technology—but actually shared in the upside when it succeeded? Margaret Oldham of AgLaunch and Iowa farmer Mark join Farm4Profit at Tech Hub LIVE to explain a farmer-led model that connects startups with real farms, real feedback, investment capital, and even farmer ownership in the companies they're helping build.
