The three-day agricultural trade show reportedly attracted a total of 37,400 people.
“Manitoba Ag Days takes great pride in bringing the ag community together. Agriculture is a business of handshakes and we try to create a welcoming environment where farmers can come together to do business, face-to-face, with ag manufacturers, companies and retailers. They can find the latest in technology and services to build their businesses. We are thrilled with the success of the 2024 show,” exclaimed Manitoba Ag Days General Manager, Kristen Phillips.
The Innovation Showcase participants were so appreciative of the showcase; it celebrated the newest and most forward-thinking products and services in agriculture and provided great visibility for the companies who participated. “It is so important for their products. Many exhibitors have already approached us about entering the showcase next year with products that are currently in the pipeline”, stated Mike Cousins, Manitoba Ag Days Innovation Showcase Committee Chair.
Manitoba Ag Days’ diverse speaking line up was well attended and had something for everyone. World class speakers, topic experts and farmer panels gave us just the right mix of reflection on the 2023 growing season and planning for this coming season and beyond.
Phillips says “On behalf of the board of directors and management team we want to sincerely thank our loyal exhibitors, generous sponsors, wonderful volunteers, Keystone Centre staff and the city of Brandon for making this show such a huge success. It was great to be able to gather together to celebrate all things agriculture.”
