Make Hay: Empowering Farmers to Share Their Stories and Boost Income
Make Hay, a new digital platform, is on a mission to amplify the voice of America's agriculture industry by empowering farmers and agricultural producers to share their stories directly with consumers. Founded by CEO Scott Nelson, the company recognizes the growing demand for transparency in food production and aims to bridge the gap between consumers and the people who produce their food.
The platform encourages farmers to create authentic, user-generated content that showcases their work and daily lives. By sharing these raw and real stories, Make Hay hopes to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the agriculture industry among consumers. Additionally, the company offers monetary compensation to farmers and agricultural producers who contribute content, providing them with a valuable secondary income stream. Make Hay was created in partnership with DIAL Ventures, which provided Nelson with the resources and network needed to develop the platform through its innovation Fellowship program.
