Bushel awarded 2025 Farm Management Solution of the Year

Bushel has been selected as “Farm Management Solution of the Year” in the 5th annual AgTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by AgTech Breakthrough, a market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global agricultural and food technology markets today.

Bushel Farm combines operational planning, digital payments, and account management to provide farmers with a simpler, more organized way to manage their farm and finances, all in one place. Farmers use Bushel Farm to track field activities, manage crop plans, analyze profit and loss, as well as move money and manage cash flow more easily.

The Bushel Business Account provided by The Bancorp Bank, N.A., Member FDIC,* inside Bushel Farm gives farmers access to a secure, FDIC-insured business account with 3.43 percent interest rate as of August 12, 2025** and liquidity designed for daily needs. The Bushel Business Account offers the flexibility to manage funds while earning interest through the same platform they use to run their farm. Farmers can also use Bushel Farm to plan ahead with better financial visibility. Seeing current balances, incoming and outgoing payments, and recent settlement data in one view supports better decision-making. For those using a line of credit, access and repayment can also be tracked.

“Thank you to AgTech Breakthrough for this meaningful recognition. Bushel Farm was built for agriculture, and that focus shows in the tools we offer. Instead of switching between spreadsheets, bank accounts, and apps, our technology is helping to bridge a gap by offering a faster, easier way for farmers to send and receive money,” said Jake Joraanstad, CEO at Bushel. “Beyond payments, our software connects data, people, and processes in a unified solution. We stand as a proven partner to agribusinesses, simplifying technology management and allowing you to focus on productivity and profitability with confidence.”

The company plans to launch remote check deposit and debit card planning into the platform in October 2025. Bushel is SOC 2 Type II compliant to meet strict requirements around data protection, system availability, and confidentiality.

The AgTech sector is rapidly redefining how food is produced, managed and distributed — transforming one of the world’s most essential industries. From AI-driven crop analytics and precision farming platforms to sustainable agriculture solutions and autonomous equipment, AgTech is delivering greater efficiency, transparency and environmental responsibility.

The mission of the annual AgTech Breakthrough Awards program is to shine a spotlight on the breakthrough innovators who are not only keeping pace with this dynamic industry but actively driving it forward.

By conducting one of the AgTech industry’s most rigorous evaluations of technology companies, reviewing thousands of award nominations each year, AgTech Breakthrough aims to inspire continued innovation and help propel the global agriculture sector into a smarter, more sustainable future.

“Bushel Farm is changing the expectations of what farm management software can do by combining daily operational planning with secure financial tools in one platform. As more farmers adopt digital tools, convenience and access matter. Fewer than 60 percent of farmers prefer to be paid by check, yet 77 percent still receive checks.

There’s a definite digital gap between how they are paid and how they want to be paid,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AgTech Breakthrough. “Bushel Farm connects farm operational planning and financial management in a way that feels natural and easy to use, providing farmers with one digital hub for running their business more effectively. We’re proud to award Bushel Farms with ‘Farm Management Solution of the Year!’”
