Manitoba Ag Days is coming to the Keystone Centre in January of 2025 and the speaker's line-up features a wide range of topics.
The program is finalized, and the speaking line up is phenomenal, says Ag Days Media Coordinator Teresa Hildebrand "The program committee listened to requests and suggestions as they assembled a speaking line up that’s all agriculture."
With two theatres running for three days and a full day of presenters at each location, Hildebrand says there is sure to be something for everyone. "It's a really great line-up! There's crop-talk, there's drones, and as a complimentary speaker line-up there are really top-notch speakers!"
Speakers include industry experts like agronomists, economists and entomologist, as well as speakers who run operations like those of our attendees; farmers who make decisions about fertility, weaning practices and marketing risks as part of their farming operations.
“Farming is a complex business, and we know how important it is to keep up with all aspects of a farming operation.” said Kristen Phillips, General Manager, Manitoba Ag Days. “You will continue to see a strong focus on agronomy as well as sessions focused on emerging technology, livestock and marketing.”
"We have really tried to make sure that we've tailored our speakers to address issues that are relevant and current for farmers," notes Hildebrand.
Six of the 2025 featured speakers are as follows. Please listen below to a few more details, but for a more thorough description of all the speakers at the 2025 Ag Days, and their topics, please visit the agdays.com website.
"We've also got the 'continuing education' credits posted on our website as well. So, there are 32.5 credits that are available for 'continuing education' for agronomists," adds Hildebrand.
