Canada's Farm Show Set To Go Virtual This Week

For the first time in 43 years, Canada's Farm Show goes virtual this week.

Participants can register online for free for this week's event which runs Wednesday, June 16th and Thursday, June 17th.

Host Cherilyn Jolly-Nagel says the first day focuses on innovations and the State of the Industry

"So this is just a wonderful day full of programming that talks about where we are today. We have a president's panel with the presidents of various companies. I think there's four or five companies there that will talk about what it's like for them in agriculture today. There's a number of key speakers, but one of my favourite parts of day one with the innovations and State of the Industry is the Pioneers Panel."

The two-day online event features on demand programming allowing registered participants to view the video programs at their own convenience.

International Business is the focus for day two of Canada's Farm Show.

Ag talk presentations over the two days cover everything from artificial intelligence and plant protein to agronomy, increased revenue and sustainability in agriculture to water as an economic driver.
