This year marks the 10th Anniversary for Ag in Motion.
Western Canada's largest outdoor farm show at Langham, Saskatchewan, features over 600 exhibitors and is expected to attract about 32,000 visitors over the three days.
Show Manager Rob O'Connor says Ag in Motion is also attracting a number of international visitors with over 230 guests coming from Australia, Africa, Europe, Mexico and the United States.
He notes what sets this show apart from others is the crop plot trials, live equipment demonstrations, and the always popular ride n drive area.
"I think that's the one thing that makes this show so unique: the opportunity for farmers to actually get into a piece of equipment and try it out. Whether it's a tractor, a high clearance sprayer, or a skid steer. You can see rock pickers operating here this year, and then there's other companies that will do something here one-on-one. "
Agriculture technology continues to be a highlight of the show.
The Innovation in Agriculture Reception was held on Monday night, hosted by Ag in Motion and Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada, is presented by S3 Group and Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
The Ag in Motion Innovations Program presented by TD Agriculture Services had the highest number of entries yet with 37 coming in this year.
This year's winners:
• Agronomics: CropScanAg for On Combine Grain Analyzer
• Business Solutions: Ultimate Yield/The Rack for HedgeHog
• Environmental Sustainability: LEMKEN Canada Inc. for Equalizer Air Tine Drill
• Equipment: Advance Tank Production Ltd. for Bio-Gas Manure Tank Trailer
• Livestock: TestiGrip for TestiGrip®
O'Connor says it’s truly inspiring to see how many companies are introducing new options for farmers to meet the challenges of the future.
