Field demonstrations continue to be an integral part of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show (COFS) each year. For 2015, the demo lineup has been announced and planning is already underway.
This year, field demonstrations will include large balers for corn stalks and planting demos with high speed, twin-row and drill planters. The demos will take place each day of the Show, which runs September 15, 16 and 17, 2015 in Woodstock, Ontario.
“Planting is the most critical field operation for a good crop and effective seeding equipment is very important,” says Paul Roper, COFS field demonstration manager. “There is impressive technology to help ensure accurate seeding and that’s why we’re featuring the latest planters this September.”
Gone are the days of throwing small bales by hand. Today’s hay, straw and corn stalks are handled as big bales. “The way these crops are handled has changed and so has the equipment,” adds Roper. “Today’s big balers handle a lot of crop in a shorter time and we’re pleased to feature this technology as part of our field demos this year.”
The well-attended demos are just one feature that differentiates Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show. Each year, attendees have the chance to witness technology in action, in the field, under real conditions. The field demos, which will take place daily in the Southwest Demonstration Field from 12:30-2:30, typically draw between 1,000 and 1,800 attendees.
Exhibitors interested in participating in the 2015 field demonstrations should contact Paul Roper at 519-435-1107 or paul@canadasoutdoorshows.com as soon as possible. An information meeting has been scheduled for early April for exhibitors that have signed up.
Be sure to stop by and visit the COFS exhibit at the upcoming London Farm Show (March 4-6) and the Ottawa Valley Farm Show (March 10-12). Roper and the COFS team will be available to answer questions about the field demos or about the Show in general.
