Ag in Motion July 16 to 18 at Langham

Ag in Motion’s themed areas and side-by-side comparisons give farmers a quick and easy way to evaluate crops, products and equipment at a glance at the largest outdoor Prairie farm event July 16 through 18, according to a press release.

“At Ag in Motion, farmers have the opportunity of seeing several companies selling comparable products all in one area,” says Rob O’Connor, show director for Ag in Motion.

“Whether a farmer is interested in seeing different crops growing, or a particular type of equipment operating in the field, we’ll have it here for them.”

O’Connor says that a visit to the farm show is a great way for farmers to gather information efficiently over three days, then integrate that back into on-farm decisions they may be facing.

“In the crop area alone, we have 27 companies with plots at Ag in Motion, featuring a range of seed varieties, fertilizers and crop protection products,” says O’Connor.

“It’s the place to see new developments in crop innovation and talk with industry leaders who are present to answer questions.”

O’Connor notes that the 100-acre farm show hosts over 570 exhibitors. He explains that the team at Ag in Motion intentionally plans several themed areas where similar companies are grouped together so visitors can efficiently plan on seeing smaller areas within the show site. Themed areas include:

Equipment Demonstrations and Ride and Drives: The latest equipment is on show – with lots of options available to test-drive – from a variety of manufacturers.
CIBC AgTech Alley: AgTech companies share exciting new technologies and fresh ideas for the evolution of agriculture.
Irrigation Alley: Irrigation, water management and drainage exhibitors feature new products and live demonstrations.
Livestock Central: With close to 100 livestock-related exhibitors featuring products of special interest to Prairie livestock producers, this area features exhibits, displays and several live demonstrations.
•             Tool Centre: The iconic shed onsite highlights a great collection of tools, fasteners, safety equipment and daily live demonstrations from Construction Fasteners and Tools.
