Ontario breaks ag-implements record, hosts AMC Expo

Leah Olson took a break from today’s conference to offer some insight on why Guelph was a good choice to host the first-ever AMC Expo, which runs from 9 am to 3 pm at the Delta Hotel.



 

“In 2015 Ontario broke the record for exporting the most agriculture implements ever,” explained the president of the Regina-based Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada.

“That’s really exciting and has motivated AMC to be here in Guelph, and we’ve got over 100 people” at the event.

AMC’s mission is to promote the growth and development of the agricultural equipment manufacturing industry in Canada.

As a national, member-driven industry association, AMC lobbies on behalf of members both provincially and federally on key issues in the industry.
