Lincoln Day is Middle Tech’s newest team member, creating content and news in the AgTech space (specifically in Kentucky). Lincoln is the founder of Stalk Commodities, a Kentucky based company working to automate crop harvesting processes. We’re pumped to welcome Lincoln to the team and are excited to help facilitate conversation around Kentucky’s booming AgTech ecosystem as we work to make it “the AgTech capital of the world”. We discussed Lincoln’s experience in the agriculture industry, Lincoln’s thoughts on AppHarvest, and what Kentucky needs to be considering as we build the AgTech capital of the world.
