Manitoba Ag Days is where the ag year begins! The program is finalized and the speaking line up is phenomenal. The program committee listened to requests and suggestions as they assembled a speaking line up that’s all agriculture. “We have two theaters running for all three days, with a full day of presenters in each location. Once you browse the program you will want to come to all three days of the show!” exclaimed Stephanie Cruickshanks, program committee lead for Manitoba Ag Days.

We know that our attendees like to hear from farmers just like them, so the program committee put together sessions for you - by people just like you.

“We take great pride in having a speaker program with something for everyone.” noted program committee member, Hannah Minshull. “Topic experts will speak about weather, weeds and fertility. We also have sessions to inform management decisions, like grain marketing, installing tile and if mixed farming makes sense. Of course we also have an afternoon dedicated to embracing innovation, which includes precision farming, drones and artificial intelligence.” For a complete listing of the complimentary speaking program, including descriptions, times and locations, please visit agdays.com/schedule

We are very fortunate to work with great partners like Farm Credit Canada, MNP, Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Canola Growers Association, Manitoba Crop Alliance and Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers as the complimentary speaking program at Manitoba Ag Days would not be possible without their resources and expertise.
