Agribition highlighting changing producer economy with advancements in ag-tech

Agribition highlighted advancements in agriculture-technologies this week, showing producers how new tech can save them money, time and limit hard labour.

FarmSimple operates out of Vibank, Sask. The local company makes a device to monitor livestock’s water supply, like trough level or temperature, which is highly important in the winter months.

Co-founder Katlin Lang said Agribition was the perfect place for him to showcase the benefits of his product directly to producers.

“It’s huge for us to be here,” he said. “Agribition last year was our first trade show and [producers] get a sense of what this thing actually looks like in-person instead of just seeing it over the internet.”

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
