The first two days of Ag Days 2025 were filled with dynamic speakers and interactive panel discussions and covered a wide variety of subjects, and looking ahead to Thursday’s program, visitors will see a great mix of agronomy, marketing and livestock sessions.
The FCC Theatre program starts on Thursday at 9:30 am when you can join John Heard who is discussing ROI and Balancing Your Nutrient Profile in Soils. At 10:25 am, Dr. Tom Bruulsema’s session is Enhancing Your Fertilizer Efficiency and Dr. John Gavloski rounds out the morning with a session about your weather and insects. You won’t want to leave early, because the afternoon sessions move between farm-scale and having a global perspective. Starting at 1:00 pm, Brunel Sabourin highlights the importance of benchmarking at a farm and community level. At 2:00 pm, Jacob Shapiro takes on the topic of Geopolitics: What Lies Ahead? – and at 3:00 pm, Kristjan Hebert will challenge the audience with need for the evolving role of the farm CEO.
If you are interested in soybeans, peas or pulses, the MNP Theatre is the place to be on Thursday morning for the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers Program. Beginning at 9:30 am, there is a full morning of sessions that dig deep into soil, roots and all things happening under the surface of your fields. In the afternoon the focus shifts to “Live”stock Lessons. The afternoon begins at 1:00 pm, with the ‘Do’s and Don’ts of Banding Calves’, followed by Digging into Cattle Market Data and Going Green with Implants.
Thursday is the last day to see over 550 exhibitors, talk to the 34 contenders in the Innovation Showcase, and see the best genetics from the farms participating in this years’ Bull Congress.
