Mar 28, 2025

It seems that Canada’s Farm Show has found its spot on the calendar.

Last week’s event was the first time in its 48-year history that it was held in March, as it was held in June previously.

Show Director Carla Vipond told reporters on the third and final day of the Farm Show that she heard a lot of positive feedback from exhibitors and attendees.

The United States has more than 895 million acres of farmland, which includes all rural land tied to farming operations, from highly fertile Midwest cornfields to vast grazing ranges in the West, as well as the undeveloped rural land, which is often sold as ranches, homesteads, or uncultivated lots. Nowadays investing in rural land is very lucrative even billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett have bought up thousands of acres of farmland across America.
