MELFORT, Sask. – A Saskatoon-based company known for its grain sampling and data management system has received a prestigious award.

VeriGrain was recognized by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. The AE50 awards celebrate product innovations in the areas of agricultural food and biological systems.

With the VeriGrain App, growers can create a digital record for tracking quality and quantity as grain is sampled when it is loaded into or out of storage.

From the entries submitted each year, an expert panel of engineers selects approximately 50 products for recognition. The award-winning products are then ranked highest in innovation, significant engineering advancement, and impact on the market served.
