Ag in Motion sees strong attendance

You might think rain at a farm show would not be a good thing but many farmers were happy to see the rain, while others are still waiting for some moisture back at the farm. 

Ag in Motion kicked off yesterday at the Discovery Farm at Langham.

The three-day event continues through Thursday.

Show Director Rob O’Connor says they had a strong first day as far as attendance adding that while they saw some rain there were a lot of smiles on farmers faces as they took in the show.

One of the highlights yesterday was at the CLAAS booth where the European company well known here for its combines launched two new tractor brands which are on display at the show.

A key highlight today is the Ag Tech Breakfast.

The sold out event  where agriculture based startup companies deliver elevator pitches on their products.

The event gives farmers and innovators the chance to connect and discuss technology and the future of the industry.

The following companies will be at the AgTech Breakfast to share their innovations: • Brad Technology • Dark Horse Ag Ventures • FarmLab • Ground Truth Ag • Mojow Autonomous Solutions Inc., and more

Overall,  Ag in motion features 580 displays and 35 crop plots, product demonstrations and launches, educational and informational sessions and more.

More information on the show is available here or on their mobile app which helps producers navigate the show and line up appointments with company representatives.
