As EMILI celebrates 10 years of driving agriculture innovation, we are proud to announce 33 unique projects taking place on Innovation Farms powered by AgExpert in 2026.
This includes commercial and pre-commercial solutions that EMILI is testing and demonstrating in crops and storage bins across 10,000 acres on its two Innovation Farms sites in Grosse Isle and MacGregor, Manitoba.
As an industry-led non-profit, EMILI is in a unique position to provide innovators with access to leading-edge equipment, technology, and production practices along with unbiased feedback on how their innovation works on a full-scale farm. This is more important than ever, as Canada’s agriculture sector navigates climate volatility, global tensions that cause transportation and storage constraints, price instability, and shifting consumer expectations.
“Technology is evolving and reshaping the industry at a rapid pace, allowing producers to do more, and in a more productive and sustainable way. But producers can’t be expected to take on the risk of unproven solutions,” said Keena. “I am proud of the work EMILI does to support agtech innovators and give producers confidence prior to adopting new tools on their farm.”
Field tours showcase agtech innovation
The public will have opportunities to celebrate EMILI’s 10th anniversary and get a firsthand look at technology demonstrations during EMILI Field Day taking place at EMILI’s Grosse Isle site on Wednesday, July 15, 2026 and Innovation Demo Day on Thursday, August 6, 2026. In addition to these public events, EMILI will host two producer-only events in June for farmers to ask questions and share insights about what matters to them.
