2025 Farmers' Choice Award
Thunderstruck Ag for Razor Edge Concaves
And the 2025 Farmers’ Choice Award goes to…
Congratulations to Thunderstruck Ag for winning of the 2025 Farmers’ Choice Award, for their Razor Edge Concaves.
We’re thrilled to announce that Thunderstruck has been named the Farmers’ Choice Award Winner! The Razor’s Edge Concaves are designed to improve harvesting efficiency, grain quality, and ease of operation for farmers using rotor combines. The system is engineered to reduce time spent adjusting equipment, minimize grain loss, and enable smoother, uninterrupted harvest operations. Thunderstruck also won the 2025 Innovation Award in the equipment category.

Agronomics
ATP Nutrition Ltd. for Synergro G3
Synergro G3 closes the gap between biological performance and on-farm practicality. A shelf-stable, granular biostimulant that brings biological science to the fertilizer blend. As biologicals move into the mainstream, Synergro G3 sets the standard for how agronomic innovation should perform both in the lab and in the field.
AgTech
PhiBer Manufacturing Inc. for Drone Carrier
An alternative to traditional ground spraying or crop dusting with spray planes the PhiBer Drone Carrier allows for re-fueling and loading platform to service up to 4 drones simultaneously.
Business Solutions
Agi3 Risk Services for ForwardProtect, AgriEnhace, FarmElevate
AgriEnhance, uses proprietary actuarial modelling and software to price crop yield risk in Western Canada. ForwardProtect allows growers to offload the risk of forward contracting. The product is insurance wrapped around a forward contract on new crop canola and spring wheat. If the grower does not have enough crop to cover the contract, they are protected against the price movement on their grain contract. FarmElevate is property and casualty insurance product targetting progressive growers that have particular needs for coverage.

Green Lightning & Nytro for the Green Lightning Nitrogen Machine
Green Lightning has invented and improved upon its standard 6 head machine. The Gen 3 model now produces 100 gallons per day of product to be applied at an equivalent ratio of 3 lbs of N per gallon of water. Using simply air, water and electricity, Green Lightning has made it possible for farmers to produce a salt free nitrate fertilizer on their own farms.
Equipment
Thunderstruck Ag Equipment for Razors Edge Concaves
The Razor’s Edge Concaves represent a significant step forward in harvesting technology. Traditional concave systems are either crop-specific, requiring frequent equipment changes, or rely on cover plates or inserts that disrupt material flow and reduce efficiency. Razors Edge Concaves are designed by optimizing threshing from front to back, then gradually widening to enhance material flow and prevent overload. This allows one set of concaves to handle multiple crops without the need for cover plates or mid-season adjustments.

NORTHERN NUTRIENTS
Arctic S 11-0-0-75S
Arctic S 11-0-0-75S is a locally manufactured, high-analysis sulphur fertilizer designed specifically for a single growing season. Its micronized sulphur formulation, which allows for rapid breakdown and crop availability even in conditions with limited moisture or microbial activity. This means farmers get the benefits of timely sulphur uptake without relying on ideal soil conditions.
TAURUS AG
CG P2X
CG P2X is not just a fertilizer; it represents a re-engineering of how phosphorus is delivered to crops. Traditional phosphorus sources like MAP or DAP are prone to tie-up in the soil and early-season loss. CG P2X is root-activated, soluble by organic acids, and proven to be twice as efficient at delivering phosphorus when and where the crop needs it.
AgTech
AgriChain North America
Agriculture Supply Chain Platform for Canadian Farmers in Partnership with VeriGrain
AgriChain supports traditional, well-established agricultural supply chains with a dynamic and seamless management software solution. Their product is a simple-to-use, secure, independent platform that connects and transfers information between supply chain participants.
OPIsystems, Inc.
OMNI Cable (3 in 1 Grain Monitoring Cable)
The OMNI cable is a patent pending 3-in-1 grain monitoring cable (temperature, relative humidity, and inventory). This cable provides the inventory level inside of the bin and allows for near instant inventory level reading in grain storage operations removing the need for a LIDAR or RADAR inventory sensing systems.
