“Harvest Academy” will launch at Canada’s Farm Show

Jan 30, 2025

Farmers attending Canada’s Farm Show in March will be able to take advantage of a unique educational opportunity.

The Farm Show runs from March 18-20 at REAL District in Regina, and an attraction announced Friday, will see Bushel Plus presenting the “Harvest Academy.”

It will take place on the final day of the show, Thursday, March 20, from 2:30 to 4 p.m., at the Launch Pad.

Producers face a never-ending challenge of trying to maximize yields, while keeping costs down, and Bushel Plus looks to help farmers accomplish that at harvest time.

The Harvest Academy is a hands-on session, aimed at teaching farmers practical strategies on how to get the most out of their equipment, and to unlock the full production and profit potential of their farms, especially during harvest.

The interactive sessions will feature discussions on how to minimize crop loss at harvest time, how to adjust and fine-tune equipment to get peak performance from harvest equipment, and how to run at peak efficiency, while keeping operational costs down.

CFS Show Manager Carla Vipond says, “Hands-on learning, interactive learning is a key feature of Canada’s Farm Show…we are here to help farmers prepare for the growing season, and the Harvest Academy will do this by helping them achieve annual measurable improvements on the farm and contributing to long-term success.”

Lyrics:

My days begin with workin’, Alarm’s at 5 o’clock,
I Fill 5 gallon buckets, The feeders and the troughs,
This five to nine ain’t workin’, why the heck do I work so hard?,
I can’t worry ‘bout health problems, I can sleep in when I’m gone,

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

I’ve been working pretty stressed but,
I ain’t changing for some cash,
Lord knows that I’m very blessed (More chores),
But I gotta say it’s hard,
Workin’ outside gettin’ charred,
Living out here on the farm, (more chores)

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history
There’s another 20 chickens that still need feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm getting’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Fun, here on ranch that’s what you can’t ignore,
Might be pretty hard but I love it to its core,
Flannel’s gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores (Tell ‘em sing with me)

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
Watching cattle in the dark, don’t miss me,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
(Yeeeeeehaw)
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
It’s the best bro, go get yourself a farm
