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.”

High fertilizer prices may finally push farmers toward application innovation

Rising fertilizer costs could accelerate adoption of nitrogen management technologies that have been available but underused on Prairie farms.

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:
