Agribition Promotes Expansion and Development in Agriculture

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

The 42nd Canadian Western Agribition begins today in Regina, Saskatchewan. The premier agriculture event attracts visitors from across the country and around the globe to see the annual event first hand. Last year, the event welcomed 126,000 visitors over the week- long period and organizers expect a good turn out again this year.

The show highlights beef cattle breeds, modern agriculture technology and farming equipment - which is a must see for those involved in farming and ranching. One of the core objectives of Agribition is encouraging breeding and improvement of livestock rising, all the while engaging competition among various breeds of cattle. The purebred cattle show can be watched through live broadcast online at http://www.agribition.com/

One additional feature this year is the Grain Expo – which allows grain farmers to see first-hand the latest technologies and hear from grain industry experts. Agribition is the biggest show of its kind in Canada - hosted in Regina every year.
