Whether you are coming for the first time or W you are a return visitor, I hope you will be as amazed as we are by this yearʼs event showcasing the latest technology to support your farming business. Ag in Motion continues to attract new exhibitors demonstrating agricultural equipment, crop genetics, inputs and tools for livestock management at our 150- acre farm site just north of Saskatoon. This yearʼs event features multiple new- product launches. You get to see them first, and in a hands-on environment. Live demonstrations of equipment for seeding, tillage, haying, fencing — and so much more — are what we do best at Ag in Motion. You can see the benefits, and do comparisons with competing products side by side to determine which one is the best for your operation. The ride & drive program this year allows you to test high-clearance sprayers. Livestock Central, presented by BMO, has grown to include a number of new demonstrations and features sector-specific theme days such as “Dairy Day” and “Beef Day.” The Agri-Trend Knowledge Tent, presented by RBC, returns this year as another venue for farmers to gain knowledge and expertise in technology and finance. Two additional information stages have been added in 2018. The Farmers Edge stage and the Aberhart Ag stage will feature interactive panel discussions and high-calibre speakers on topics of interest to your farm business. Look for special events highlighting the many organizations and services that make rural Western Canada a uniquely special place to live, including STARS air ambulance, 4-H Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Association of Regional Municipalities, Saskatchewan Regional Economic Development Association. Ag in Motion is truly a community effort. It could not succeed without the farmers who attend and the exhibitors and sponsors who choose this show to connect with their customers. Without our staff and volunteers, the grounds would not look nearly as good, nor would the show run as smoothly. This year, you can receive a Special Edition 2018 Ag in Motion cap if you buy your tickets online prior to the show. Wear your special edition hat on the second and third day, and you will get in for FREE! Visit the Ag in Motion website to order yours at any time before the show. Have a great trip to Ag in Motion.
