Field Conditions Update - as of July 5th, 5:00 P.M.
The demo site received more rain today, so it is unlikely that the field will be ready by tomorrow to seed. In the likely event that we cannot run the drills in the field, we have planned an alternative itinerary which will still provide an informative and beneficial day for producers.
Bourgault Field Day - "Plan B"
- Factory Tours of Building E will go ahead as the original schedule. The tours are still filled on a first come – first serve basis, all visitors must have full length pants and closed shoes to go on the tour.
1st Tour – 10:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (40 people max.)
2nd Tour – 11:15 a.m. to 12:00 noon (40 people max.)
A third tour may be arranged for after lunch if there is enough interest.
- Lunch will be served at the demo site between noon and 1:00 PM
- Static Displays: The seeding equipment will be arranged as static displays, with Bourgault team members presenting on the various aspects of the Bourgault seeding systems after lunch. Time will be provided for a Q & A session at the end of each presentation.
- Agronomy Trials: Plot tours will still be given of the various fertilizer placement trials on condition that the ground will be firm enough to drive the people movers through the plots.
- Topcon’s Technology Roadshow: The Topcon demo trailer is available to showcase the Bourgault Apollo X30 air seeder controller. Bourgault X30 Specialists as well as Topcon representatives will provide presentations and demonstrate the features available.
The large tent is set up for shelter for any showers that may pass by through the day, but best to come prepared. We hope that you still plan to enjoy the day with us.
