The wide scope of agricultural and biological engineering and technology is represented by this year’s awards, from the laboratory to livestock facilities, and from seed technology to crop-water management. Innovations in off-road equipment, including vehicles, components, and towed equipment are also recognized among this year’s class of winners.

ASABE and Resource magazine are pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 AE50 Awards, celebrating companies and their technological innovations in agricultural, food, and biological systems.

The wide scope of agricultural and biological engineering and technology is represented by this year's awards, from the laboratory to livestock facilities, and from seed technology to crop-water management. Innovations in off-road equipment, including vehicles, components, and towed equipment are also recognized among this year's class of winners.

With six AE50 Awards apiece, Case IH and Deere & Company top the list of companies with multiple honors. Others with more than one award include Agco, Claas, MacDon, and the Salford Group.

"This year's batch of AE50 winners is another excellent mix of full machines, major systems, software and never-seen-before technological solutions, all significantly advancing agriculture into the future," says ASABE Executive Director Darrin Drollinger. "Great examples of the breadth of AE50 products include the all new Case IH AF series of combines with innovation from ‘header to spreader' to Indigo Ag's biotrinsic CLIPS device, which provides an eloquent hands-free method for uniform coating of seeds with biologicals."

The complete list of winners, along with video introductions for each, is available at asabe.org/AE50awardwinners. The awards will be presented at ASABE's 2025 Agricultural Equipment Technology Conference, being held February 9-12 in Louisville. Winners will be featured in the January/February issue of Resource, available later this month.

AE50 Awards are chosen by a panel of technology experts who rank nominations for innovation, engineering advancement, and impact on the market served.

The 2025 winners will now be reviewed for selection of the Davidson Prize, presented each year the top three products. This year's Davidson Prizes will be announced at the 2025 Commodity Classic, being held March 1-4, at the Colorado Convention Center, in Denver.

The AE50 Awards were first presented in June 1984, in a special issue of ASABE's Agricultural Engineering (now Resource), in which 25 new techniques, inventions, and innovations were showcased.

ASABE is an international educational organization dedicated to the advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems.
