Oklahoma Farm Bureau has selected 12 Oklahoma businesses to be part of the Oklahoma Grassroots Rural and Ag Business Accelerators program for 2026.
The accelerators program is a collaborative rural development initiative from OKFB along with national and state-level partners that develops Oklahoma-based innovators creating ideas, technologies and products creating economic opportunities in rural Oklahoma.
The 12 founders were assigned to one of two cohorts with individualized tracks based on their business innovation.
AgCelerate Oklahoma
AgCelerate Oklahoma focuses on innovations and technologies that have an on-farm or production agriculture application in an effort to diversify opportunities for farmers with a farmer-focused and farmer-led development program.
The six members of the AgCelerate Oklahoma 2026 cohort are Ranch Ratchet, a tool designed to tighten and loosen electric fence insulators; Beech Land and Cattle, a company that is creating a medicinal dart to treat cattle; EqTek LLC, a record-keeping and farm monitoring program for horses and other large animals; SuperBlend Organics, a fertilizer that deploys concentrated beneficial microbes to the soil; Verda Robotics, an autonomous, GPS-based rover that navigates crops to collect data and detect plant stress; and JKS Farm Consultants, which has created a bioactive seaweed product to improve row crop efficiency and yield.
Activate Oklahoma
The Activate Oklahoma pipeline combines an innovation bootcamp, pre-accelerator and business accelerator to connect rural entrepreneurs and innovators with resources from Oklahoma’s world-class business development community to build an even brighter future for rural Oklahoma. The Activate Oklahoma track is designed for any rural-based business with an innovation or product that will bring economic opportunities to Oklahoma’s rural communities.
The members of the Activate Oklahoma 2026 cohort are NicomaNet Technologies, a company that has developed AI-powered food safety and consumer protection platforms; Industrial Marking and Safety Solutions, a platform that ensures food processing facilities operate with the highest safety standards; Nutrition Revolution, a blood pressure management platform that integrates behavior, nutrition and biometrics; Remote Ready OK, an AI-powered training program placing underemployed rural Oklahomans into remote startup careers; TriPoint Innovations, which has developed a GPS-based location awareness and communications device for hunters and outdoor users; and Blank Slate Learning Group, which has developed an AI-enabled video platform teaching K-8th grade science.
The 12 businesses, all hailing from rural Oklahoma communities or directly serving rural Oklahomans, will complete a vigorous bootcamp training and other programming in the coming months.
