Farmers across Western Canada will make the trip to Ag in Motion, near Langham, as the annual outdoor agricultural event gets underway on Tuesday.
The site in the R.M. of Corman Park, located northwest of Saskatoon, is in great shape, according to Show Director Rob O'Connor.
"The moisture that we received really helped it. It was actually quite dry at the end of May, beginning of June, and all this moisture just really popped everything, got things back on track nice and green," he said. "The crop plots look fantastic and the site looks good. The biggest issue I have right now is getting rid of a bunch of mosquitoes."
The forecast for the Saskatoon area for all three days of the event is sunshine and temperatures in the high 20s to low 30s. There are a number of tents and semi-permanent structures should people need a break from the sun.
Hundreds of exhibitors - from the big companies to small businesses - have moved in and are ready for the week.
A big component of the outdoor farm show is equipment demonstrations. O'Connor said there will be plenty for attendees to experience from drone demonstrations to the ride and drive programs.
"Whether they participate in the tractor ride and drive, the sprayer ride and drive, the grain truck ride and drive, which is new this year, or the material handling ride and drive, where you can get into the cab of a skid steer...move some things around and see how you feel with those machines and which ones you think you should probably invest in." he said.
