BASF Canada is inviting members of the media to hear keynote speaker Paul Coffey at BASF Knowledge Harvest events across Western Canada. Former NHL defenceman known for his speed and scoring, Paul Coffey will share stories of his experiences in the NHL and the importance of teamwork and family.
The Knowledge Harvest events, which will be held in Portage la Prairie, Yorkton, Camrose and Swift Current throughout February and early March, are designed to celebrate growers and provide information about advances in the agriculture industry. The theme, Farming Out Loud, encourages the sharing of knowledge on innovative technology that is shaping the future of plant science in Canada and gives attendees the opportunity to share their experiences, giving a voice to the agriculture community. Demonstrations, clinics, videos and guest speakers set the scene for inquiry, discovery and inspiration.
“Focusing on growers and the breadth of their experiences sets the tone for a fun, interactive and educational atmosphere,” said Ron Kehler, Business Director at BASF. “We are committed to working with growers and connecting them with like-minded individuals to share experiences in the industry.”
Participants in the events will learn about ways they can make 2017 a success. Speakers will present on topics such as challenges in the marketplace, sustainability and stewardship; aspects of quality and yield; weed control; and the latest tools, techniques and technologies. There will be plant demos and videos, all to foster optimal methods of crop production.
The first event in Portage la Prairie takes place on Tuesday, February 14, 2017. Yorkton hosts the second Knowledge Harvest, Thursday, Feb. 16.
