Popular agriculture show to highlight technology

Apr 12, 2024 | 11:30 AM

One of the country’s biggest agriculture shows will focus on ag tech.

From Jun. 18 to 20, farmers, developers, industry professionals, and exhibitors will be in Regina, Sask. for Canada’s Farm Show (CFS) to explore the latest advancements for the farm.

Industry leaders met yesterday to launch the 2024 edition of CFS. Regina Exhibition Association Ltd. (REAL) Acting President and CEO Roberta Engel said the show will have some returning favourites and brand-new elements.

“Agriculture is at the heart of our province, and it is integral to REAL,” Engel said. “In 1884 we started with a fair that brought together 150 community-minded individuals to exchange goods, information, and experiences. This year marks 140 years, for REAL, and CFS is an evolution of that first fair. It highlights all that makes our community strong- innovation, education, and collaboration.”

A highlight of the show is the return of Cultivator’s 24-Hour Start-Up | AgTech. This event brings together the best and brightest in agriculture, technology, and business to pitch ideas, form teams, and build a minimum viable product in just 24 hours.

The Global AgTech Summit will connect farmers, founders, and funders for a one-day session, featuring industry guests and experts sharing insights into ag tech and innovation.

Returning this year is the Premier’s Breakfast, where Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe will deliver his State of Agriculture in Saskatchewan address on the first day of CFS.

The 2024 Innovation Awards will be selected by a panel of judges who have a practical understanding of how productivity on farms can be improved through innovation. All innovations will be on display throughout the show. The awards will be presented at the Premier’s breakfast.

The Launch Pad will once again serve as the platform where innovations become reality. Degelman Industries will present the Heavy Duty Staggered Ripper (HDSR) on the launch pad stage on day one of the show.

Derek Molnar, Marketing Manager with Degelman Industries said the company has always viewed the show as a premiere venue to launch new products into the agricultural landscape.

“We can’t wait to take to the Launch Pad stage for the exclusive Canadian introduction of our next line of high-performance tillage equipment;” he said.

Over 100 international delegates are expected to attend where they will learn more about the products on display. Saskatchewan Trade & Export Partnership (STEP) is working closely with CFS to ensure international buyers and exhibitors attend the show.

The show will once again provide an opportunity for companies to recruit with our Launch your Career Ag initiative. A career fair will be held on Thursday afternoon were all students will be given complimentary entrance to the show.

Single day and three-day passes are available and can be purchased in advance at canadasfarmshowreginask.com where complete show details can also be found.
