Changes coming to Canada’s Farm Show in Regina

Canada’s Farm Show (CFS) in Regina, Sask. is shaking things up in 2025.

The event, usually held in June, is now moving to Mar. 18 to 20.

The show is built on three pillars: education, innovation, and collaboration with programming emphasizing seminars, hands-on experiences, and cutting-edge technology.

Roberta Engel, acting President and CEO of the Regina Exhibition Association Limited said CFS is all about advancing agriculture while celebrating the people who power it.

“Moving the show to March aligns with farmers’ seeding cycles, ensuring they get an early look at the tools and technologies they need,” she said. “Our goal is to create an inspiring and valuable experience for attendees and exhibitors alike.”

With 80 per cent of spaces sold, returning exhibitors include Bourgault Industries, Brandt Group of Companies, Dutch Industries, Degelman Industries, Farm Credit Canada (FCC), Nick’s Service, Prairie Ram, Ritchie Brothers, Thunderstruck Ag, and Viterra. Several first-time participants are Apache Sprayers, Condie Seed, AG Access, DyMark Industries, FP Genetics, among others.

The trade-show floor will include product showcases and launches happening throughout the three days.

A CFS Kick-Off Party will feature award winning country artist Jelly Roll on Mar. 16. CFS will be offering a VIP Program for the concert before the week begins. The entertainment continues throughout the show at the Young’s Equipment Farmhouse Lounge, opening daily at 11:00 a.m.

Monday will see Farm Management Canada host their Bridging the Gap Farm Transition Workshop and the annual Welcome Reception.

On Tuesday, March 18, CFS will celebrate farmers with the Regina Pats’ Thank You Farmers Game where the Pats will take on the Swift Current Broncos.

Each day of the show will feature a theme.

Opening day on Mar. 18 is Farmer Appreciation Day which starts with breakfast at 9:00 a.m., followed by industry leaders and speaker panels and safety programming. The day concludes with a Thank You Farmers Tailgate Party.

Day 2 is Innovation Day on Mar. 19 which spotlights advancements shaping agriculture’s future. The 2025 Innovator Recognition Program will honour four individuals in the categories of emerging, lifetime, farmer, and community Innovators.

Cultivator, powered by Conexus, returns with a new session designed to help farmers integrate new technologies and practices into their operations. This year will include back-to-basics learning sessions, providing insights to evaluate and adopt the right innovations for each farming operation.

Mar. 20 is Young Farmer Day which supports the next generation of agriculture leaders. CFS is home for the Saskatchewan Outstanding Young Farmers Program the Launch Your Career in Ag and Think AG.

Video: How women saved agricultural economics and other ideas for why diversity matters | Jill J. McCluskey

Dr. Jill J. McCluskey, Regents Professor at Washington State University and Director of the School of Economic Science

Dr. McCluskey documents that women entered agricultural economics in significant numbers starting in the 1980s, and their ranks have increased over time. She argues that women have increased the relevance in the field of agricultural economics through their diverse interests, perspectives, and experiences. In their research, women have expanded the field's treatment of non-traditional topics such as food safety and nutrition and environmental and natural resource economics. In this sense, women saved the Agricultural Economics profession from a future as a specialty narrowly focused on agricultural production and markets. McCluskey will go on to discuss some of her own story and how it has shaped some of her thinking and research. She will present her research on dual-career couples in academia, promotional achievement of women in both Economics and Agricultural Economics, and work-life support programs.

The Daryl F. Kraft Lecture is arranged by the Department of Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics, with the support of the Solomon Sinclair Farm Management Institute, and in cooperation with the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.
