Woodstock, ON., November 2, 2021 – Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show will host its final digital event of 2021 on November 10 with a topic of Accelerating Ag Innovation. The event features ways farmers and companies are embracing innovative approaches to improving profitability and resilience on the farm.
“Innovation is at the heart of Canadian ag,” says Doug Wagner, President of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show. “This event offers a discussion on some of the great things that are already happening in agriculture, plus new developments that will impact the future of ag.”
The digital event day will begin with a live Tech Talk Panel of Glacier FarmMedia technology writers. Scott Garvey, Robin Booker and Ron Lyseng will discuss new developments and unique innovations they have seen throughout 2021, and attendees will be able to ask questions of the panelists.
Also presenting are two finalists and the two winners from the 2021 Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmer (COYF) program in Ontario. Each business will share how they use out-of-the-box thinking to move their farm operations forward. The event will also have an international component that features select companies from the Invest Northern Ireland economic development agency that offers unique solutions for Canadian farmers.
