Saskatoon, SK., March 18, 2021 – Farmers looking for practical seeding tips and information to get ready for a successful season this spring can attend the first Ag in Motion digital event on Wednesday, March 24.
Speakers at the March 24 digital event day will discuss topics on the theme Planting Kick Off – Profiting Through Incremental Gains.

“Spring is a crucial time on the farm, and we’ve reached out to speakers to share tips on practical things farmers can do at this time of year to set them up for success at harvest,” says Lynda Tityk, Executive Vice-President of Glacier FarmMedia.
Tityk notes that the March 24 event is just the first of many digital events throughout the year where farmers can attend themed event days in different months, and return when it’s convenient to watch sessions, see new on-demand content, attend pop-up events and check out exclusive show offers. Farmers can register for a free Ag in Motion ‘digital pass’ for access to key information until December 31, 2021.
A new interactive feature on digital event days is the virtual Coffee Shop that gives farmers an informal way to connect with each other through video chat. Farmers, speakers and industry reps can mingle in a room with small virtual tables in the Coffee Shop to catch up and have face-to-face conversations.
Throughout 2021, Ag in Motion will produce six themed digital event days on topics around seeding, growing, research, livestock, harvest and innovation. Registration for the Ag in Motion Digital Pass, and information on the March 24 digital event, is available at aginmotion.ca.
