Ag in Motion unlike any western Canadian farm show

Ag in Motion offers farmers a unique opportunity to see live crop plots from a variety of seed and crop protection companies, all in one place. For year two of Ag in Motion, attendees will see more plots and even more variety.

“The aerial says it all,” says show director Rob O’Connor. “The crop plots are an eye-catching and clear way Ag in Motion sets itself apart from other farm shows in Western Canada. We bring the seed guides to life and better purchase decisions come from that.”

Beware giving horses too much iron

Horses consuming too much iron through diet or well water risk health problems like laminitis. Mineral testing forage and water is good practice for owners.

To prepare the plots, exhibitors begin planting a variety of crops on site in May and June to showcase their latest innovations and products. The crop plots, which are all 170 feet deep and range in frontage from 30 to 500 feet, are located around the perimeter and throughout the show site.

The live crop plot exhibits will showcase seed and inputs for a diversity of crops, including wheat, barley, oats, flax, hay mixtures, corn, soybeans and canola.

Here are a few of the crop plots and strip trials farmers can explore this July at Ag in Motion:
