Officials Pleased With Crop Sphere

Organizers for last week’s Crops Sphere in Saskatoon are pleased with the event.

About 600 producers and industry reps took in the two day event at TCU Place.

Crop Sphere spokesman Carl Potts says next year’s event will be moved out to Prairieland Park and the Western Canadian Crop Production Show.

"We've actually found a way to move all our concurment sessions, so the sessions that run back to back at Prairieland in the existing space and be able to find a way that growers that are out attending the show can also come in and pick the sessions they want to participate in."

Agriculture Manager Lori Cates says once again exhibit space at the show was sold out adding that she has a waiting list of companies who would like to take part.

Cates says with the growing demand the Park is looking at possibly expanding its facility.

"We're very much right now in the process of putting a plan together to have another building on the park as soon as possible. If I had my way it would be very quickly but we understand these sort of things take time."

No official expansion has been announced for Prairieland as yet.

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things. Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
