Rob O’Connor, Show Manager for Canada’s Farm Progress Show (CFPS) today announced that this year’s People Choice Innovation Award had been presented to Clean Seed Capital Group from Burnaby, BC.
“It is no surprise to me to see the Clean Seed group win this award. They were the focus of a lot of buzz among show attendees and the media. They have excellent, inventive products that are generating excitement throughout the agriculture sector,” said O’Connor.
The Innovation Awards are among the most prestigious aspects of the show. Most of the awards are determined by panels of ag technology experts.
