Seed the next generation of entrepreneurs. Cover a broad range of industries and subject knowledge expertise. Grow your perspective and see new areas across the community.
Monitoring A Smart Grain Bin From Your Pocket
Speakers: Steven Brockshus, CEO, and Dillon Hurd, co-founder of Haber Technologies (now Shivvers Technology & Innovation Group)
Haber Technologies was born from an idea in an agricultural engineering class at Iowa State University. Co-Founders Eric Harweger and Dillon Hurd developed the novel grain aeration & management solution, leading to the creation of the DRI-Stack® system in 2018.
Headquartered in Ames, Iowa, it has rapidly grown, helping farmers across ten states with their grain drying and automation technology. Haber Technologies was acquired by Shivvers Manufacturing in 2024, and is rapidly scaling their technology through Shivver's established network of 250+ dealers.
