Canadian Western Agribition Ready For First Year In New Facility

 
Canadian Western Agribition is just over a month away.
 
The annual event runs November 20th to the 25th at Regina’s Evraz Place.
 
This year’s show includes full use of the new International Trade Centre which now connects all buildings on the grounds.
 
Agribition President Bruce Holmquist says everything is coming together nicely.
 
"Entries are up for all the beff cattle down in the commercial barn," he said. "New building that we're going to be moving into so really excting in that regard. I think part of the interest increase is because of that, some people are coming back that haven't been her for a few years."   
 
Holmquist says from facilities to programming everything is coming together noting there’s a real sense of excitement around the show this year.
 
"It's a great marketplace for anybody that has product to sell whether it be livestock, genetics, things from the trade show and equipment," Homquist explains. "The world comes to meet at Canadian Western Agribition and it's not just about the entertainment, although it's great. There is also a huge trade aspect of it as well."

Video: Secure Your Pig Herd with AgView | Streamline Disease Defense with Traceability

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer and staff member of the National Pork Board, as she dives into a resource developed by the National Pork Board, paid for with Pork Checkoff funds. AgView is a pivotal tool, enabling swift and efficient responses to potential foreign animal disease outbreaks by allowing producers to securely share location and pig movement data with State Animal Health Officials to rapidly contain the disease threat and determine where the disease is or is not present.

Why Should Pork Producers Care? AgView standardizes and streamlines how America's pig farmers communicate information to animal health officials that supports business continuity in an outbreak. It is an entirely voluntary tool where you continue to own and control your data.

Getting Started with AgView: Getting started is incredibly easy. You can access the platform on any device. Producers can upload data directly to their AgView Account or work with the National Pork Board to connect the platform using an application programming interface or API.

Takeaway: AgView was built to be the path to protection that helps producers and officials respond to a foreign animal disease emergency the minute a threat arises, providing the critical information needed to manage a foreign disease crisis.
