Global Ag Manufacturing

A real-world experience for U of S students

Sixteen business students at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) are getting immersed into the world of ag manufacturing this fall. In November, a group of third- and fourth-year Edwards School of Business students are attending AGRITECHNICA 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for agriculture machinery.

The AGRITECHNICA experience is part of an international business course focused on trade shows, an important tool that businesses use to engage in the international marketplace.

Partnering with AMC, the school matched each student with a Saskatchewan-based ag manufacturing company attending the show.

“Industry partnerships like the one we have with AMC are essential to creating meaningful student experiences,” says Dr. Keith Willoughby (PhD), dean of the

Edwards School of Business. “They not only foster skill and career development, but also highlight the exceptional talent and potential our students bring to the workforce.”

Before the show, which takes place in Hanover, Germany from November 9 to 15, students are trained on the skills necessary to work a trade show. Each student is also required to research their matched business and assist with market research in preparation.

“We want them to be familiar with the company and its people when they are there,” says Cheryl Loadman, a professor who teaches international business at the Edwards School of Business.

“The students become part of the company team.”

Once in Germany, the students will help set up, participate in company meetings, attend networking events, and work the trade show floor talking to potential customers.
