*Sprout Lab: growing your agribusiness idea* is a pilot program focused on supporting innovators in Michigan's Ag/Natural Resource sector. We know growers are innovative! Sprout Lab's 3-day workshop is a focused opportunity to explore the commercial potential of your Ag-related technology idea or tool prototype. Anything to do with improving on-farm operations, plant growth, water/energy use, etc. You will leave the workshop clear about next steps, and connected to regional resources that will help you develop your idea. Two regional workshops, developed by GVSU & SVSU, are scheduled: *Grand Rapids (on GVSU's downtown campus): November 4-6* Saginaw (at SVSU's campus): January 10-12 *Discounts available* for Michigan Farm Bureau members, FFA members, students, and others.
