AgLaunch INNOVA Award 2018
Huck Boyd Leader of the Year Award 2017
"Alan VanNahmen grew up on a family farm in southwest Kansas where one of his major tasks was driving the combine during harvest time. After studying at K-State, he embarked on an international career developing harvesting equipment with John Deere and Claas. As he saw farmers trying to present their innovative equipment ideas to major manufacturers, he thought that those farmers needed a friend to help them. In 1991, he founded a company called Farm Buddy to assist farmers with product design and development. He now serves as a consultant for farmers and agribusinesses, including those who are developing the ARRO® Head harvesting system for grain sorghum. According to industry sources, there is no one in the country who knows more about grain harvesting systems than Alan VanNahmen." Read more!
