Innovation To Take Centre Stage At Ag Days

The show takes place January 16 - 18 at the Keystone Centre in Brandon.
 
Media Coordinator Andrea Guthrie says those who come to the show will definitely want to check out the Inventor's Showcase located in Barn 4.
 
"The Inventor's Showcase is a huge draw for the show," she commented. "It's really where we get to see the innovations in the industry. It's pretty inspiring to see everything that's coming out and this year we have 14 entries."
 
Guthrie notes many of the products in the Inventor's Showcase will end up in the marketplace.
 
 
The New Products Competition will also be back again this year with 17 entries in the mix. Those products will be scattered throughout the show.
 
 
The theme of this year's show is "The Year of the Young Farmer".

Residue Management

Video: Residue Management

Residue Management conservation practice manages the amount, orientation, and distribution of crop and other plant residue on the soil surface year-round while limiting soil-disturbing activities used to grow and harvest crops in systems where the field surface is tilled prior to planting. This video explores how Ryan McKenzie implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Samson, Alabama.

Practice benefits:

• Increases organic matter

• Improves air quality

• Decreases energy costs

• Reduces erosion

• Improves soil health

The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
