Farm safety day back at Battlefords Agricultural Society

Kids in the Battlefords area will have a chance to learn some helpful tips they need to know about staying safe on the farm, during the upcoming Progressive Agricultural Safety Day.

The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. May 11 at the AgriPlex and AgriVilla buildings, at the exhibition grounds in North Battleford.

Battlefords Agricultural Society general manager Jocelyn Ritchie said this is the first time the organization has held the event since before the pandemic situation, so she was looking forward to offering it again.

“It’s a good program for the school kids,” she said. “They learn about all kinds of safety – from farm safety, water safety, ATV safety, chemical safety – all kinds of different safety aspects.”

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision


Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
