CropConnect 2021 Cancelled Due To COVID-19

Jul 28, 2020

The 2021 CropConnect Conference has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Below is a statement from the organizing committe:

The difficult decision has been made to cancel the 2021 CropConnect Conference, at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Winnipeg due to the uncertainties regarding COVID-19 specifically relating to events of our size.

Our ag community’s well-being is our top priority. With so many unknowns the CropConnect committee felt that it was financially prudent and in everyone’s best interests that we follow the expert advice we are all receiving to limit or eliminate large group gatherings in order to continue to slow the spread of this virus in our province.

Please keep your calendars marked as planning is underway to virtually host four Annual General Meetings on February 10 & 11, 2021. Stay tuned for more details.

We appreciate your understanding and we look forward to staying connected with you and hopefully we will be back full force February 15&16, 2022.

Video: Winter Service Inspections for John Deere Equipment - The FarmCast Ep64

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
