Saskatoon, Sask., June 30, 2022 – Producers seeking industry-specific advice will find it at Ag in Motion with access to experts who address challenges and growth opportunities in livestock and crop management, data capture and markets.
“While much of Ag in Motion is a hands-on experience, there’s nothing like getting tips directly from experts in the field,” says Rob O’Connor, Ag in Motion show director. “One of our goals is to make sure visitors leave with answers to the questions they walked in with.”
As part of the Driving Decisions Speaker Series, presented by MNP, a new product launch feature will see five companies pitch their latest innovations in the Ag in Motion Knowledge Tent: Axiom Applied Analytics, Mojow Autonomous Solutions Inc., Nutrien Ltd., Bin-Sense/IntraGrain Technologies and Lallemand Plant Care.
The Driving Decisions Speaker Series features these experts making presentations over the three show days:

Additional livestock attractions include the Bullseye Beef Breeds Showcase, a stock dog demonstration, and a variety of daily livestock handing and equipment demonstrations.
Ag in Motion takes place July 19-21, 2022 at the Discovery Farm Langham site, located just 15 minutes northwest of Saskatoon, Sask. and is Western Canada’s largest outdoor farm expo with over 500 exhibitors and 100 acres to explore.
