Field demonstrations continue to be an integral part of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show (COFS) each year. For 2015, the demo lineup has been announced and planning is already underway.
This year, field demonstrations will include large balers for corn stalks and planting demos with high speed, twin-row and drill planters. The demos will take place each day of the Show, which runs September 15, 16 and 17, 2015 in Woodstock, Ontario.
“Planting is the most critical field operation for a good crop and effective seeding equipment is very important,” says Paul Roper, COFS field demonstration manager. “There is impressive technology to help ensure accurate seeding and that’s why we’re featuring the latest planters this September.”
Gone are the days of throwing small bales by hand. Today’s hay, straw and corn stalks are handled as big bales. “The way these crops are handled has changed and so has the equipment,” adds Roper. “Today’s big balers handle a lot of crop in a shorter time and we’re pleased to feature this technology as part of our field demos this year.”
