‘Harvest Academy’ will launch at Canada’s Farm Show

Mar 05, 2025

Farmers attending Canada’s Farm Show in March will be able to take advantage of an interesting 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 the 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.

“Hands-on learning, interactive learning is a key feature of Canada’s Farm Show,” CFS Show Manager Carla Vipond says. “…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.”

Video: What is Anhydrous Ammonia and Why Do We Use It?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
