MAYOR OF BRANDON

Manitoba ag days co-chairmen

As Mayor and on behalf of Brandon City Council and indeed the citizens of Brandon, I’m extremely pleased to welcome folks to Manitoba Ag Days taking place at the Keystone Centre from January 19 – 21, 2016.

Canada’s largest indoor Farm Show is Ag Days in Brandon. This huge agricultural event is an exposition of agricultural production expertise, technology, and equipment that attracts exhibitors and visitors from across Canada and the North Central United States to our hometown of Brandon, Manitoba. The show continues to be one of the premier events of its kind in Canada and features over 500 exhibits with 50,000 visitors attending the show over the three days.

Welcome to Manitoba Ag Days 2016 for our 39th show. We are very excited to present to you Canada’s Largest Indoor Farm Show; a show filled to capacity featuring the latest in equipment, technology and information. 2015 was a year of highs and lows but more importantly a year of lessons.

Years like this lead to statements like “if only” and “what if”. It also leads to many questions such as “Is there a new or better way to do this?”

Ag Days is certainly the place to find the answers to your questions from our many exhibitors or possibly even from a fellow farmer you may meet up with on the red carpet or in the seminar rooms. The popular features such as the Farm Safety Component, the Inventors’ Showcase, Bull Congress and the seminars will all be a part of this great show once again.

We are very proud of the fact that our show is 100% Pure Farm. This means that all of our exhibits are required to be of an agricultural nature so farm business is the focus. With over 10 acres of exhibits making us Canada’s Largest Indoor Farm Show this is your one-stop shop for all your agricultural needs.

Construction is done and we have completed some renos and upgrades of our own to continue to expand our show. We have our largest number of exhibitors ever at our 2016 show. A great way to find exhibitors is by simply going to www.agdays.com and search for an exhibitor or use our new interactive mapping on the web. At the Show our friendly information staff is always available and willing to help you find what you’re looking for or stop by the show office and someone will lead you in the right direction.

Back in October the MB AG Days board launched our new “Community Giving Program”, essentially we want to “Pay It Forward” in agriculture. We have always helped support youth education through our financial support, the kick-off breakfast and scholarships but we now want to take this commitment to agriculture one step further; we want to share some of the show’s success with the individuals that make it successful by allowing communities and organizations the opportunity to apply for funds to help support valuable projects and initiatives in the heart of our agriculture industry. This year we had 21 applicants apply. Please consider purchasing a 50/50 ticket at the show as all of this money will be administered through the Ag Days Gives Back Fund! In the past we have supported STARS, MB Farm and Rural Support Services, Manitoba 4-H and the Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup.

Thank you to the many sponsors of Manitoba Ag Days; our show would not be the success it is without your partnerships! You will find our sponsors mentioned on various pages in this guide; please take the time to thank them when you visit them at their displays!

Thank you to the sponsors and organizers for their many hours of labour which contribute to one of Brandon’s largest events of the year. Brandon is surrounded by agriculture and we are thrilled to extend our hospitality to everyone attending this event.

Best Regards,

Rick Chrest Mayor

We look forward to seeing you at Ag Days 2016 – It’s Where the Ag Year Begins.

Sarah, author of the Nurse Loves Farmer Blog, shares why the mommy blogging community is an audience that agriculture can’t afford to ignore and how after 3 years of blogging about agriculture and food, she has learned that if you don’t stand up and share your story about how you raise your food and how you farm, someone else will.

In this topic Andrew Campbell and will cover it all as he looks back at his #farm365 campaign of 2015 and the good and the bad that go along with reaching out to consumers.

What’s Ahead for Grain Markets?

Chuck Penner – Leftfield Commodity Research 3:15 PM Tuesday, January 19th – MNP theatre

The first step is to highlight the current environment (known knowns) influencing prices for grains, pulses and oilseeds. With that as the starting point for the market outlook, Chuck will turn his attention to potential developments (known unknowns) that could sway markets in the coming months. By definition, the third category (unknown unknowns) can’t be identified, but Chuck may still throw around a few possibilities.

Seminars & workshops Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments: Benefits, Risks and When to Use John Gavloski – Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development 11:15 AM WEDNESDAY, January 20th – FCC theatre

Neonicotinoid based seed treatments are available for use in corn, soybeans, canola and many other field crops. They can be effective at reducing plant damage when certain early-season insects, such as wireworms, are present. Under stressful growing conditions, enhanced growth vigour can occur as well. But like many pest control technologies there are both economical and environmental costs that must be weighed against potential benefits when making management decisions. Recent research has shown that overuse of these seed treatments can have some negative consequences, including residues in surface waters, persistence in soil, and under some conditions potential harm to pollinators.

This presentation will look at how to assess risks and benefits to determine the most economical and sustainable use of neonicotinoid-based seed treatments. John, Entomologist with MAFRD, will be speaking at 11:15 am on Wednesday in the FCC Theatre.

Straight Cutting: Is the Header the Difference Maker?

Dustin Williams, Souris, MB ConnOr Rex, Enns Brothers Dustin Hargreaves, Brandon, MB 3:30 pM WEDNESDAY, January 20th – FCC theatre

What crops do flex headers work best in? How do they handle difficult harvest conditions? Weather has a significant influence over the quality of crop that is harvested from your fields. Technology can make the harvest faster and easier, but there is a cost to ownership, ongoing learning and operation. New crops and crop variety changes have opened up new ways of harvesting and combine headers have been keeping up with these changes. Traditional harvesting of swathed crops involved picking up rows of swathed crop, but this is quickly being replaced by straight cutting. Do flex headers save time? There are many options available – traditional cutting bar, reel and auger to the newest flex header with draper and air assist. Does the expense of new technology have a fit on your farm? Learn the answers to these questions by joining our panelists on Wednesday January 20th in the FCC Theatre at 3:30 pm.

Managing Soil Salinity – Get Your Forages Working For You Marla Riekman – Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development 2:45 PM WEDNESDAY, January 20th – MNP theatre

Soil salinity is primarily a ‘water problem’. Wet years drive salinity by bringing the water table closer to the soil surface. As the weather becomes drier, the increase in evaporation draws salts from the groundwater and/or subsoil up to the soil surface, producing white crusts and inhibiting crop growth.

To manage salinity one must manage water - growing high water-loving crops such as forages can be the perfect solution to lowering the water table. Some forage crops also exhibit a high salinity tolerance, making them ideal for growing in saline soils. Come hear Marla, Land Management Specialist with MAFRD, in the MNP Theatre at 2:45 pm on Wednesday.

MAXIMUM WHEAT! Peter Johnson – RealAgriculture.com 10:15 AM THURSDAY, January 21ST – FCC theatre

Pushing the boundaries on wheat yields takes inputs and management. With the genetic yield potential of newer wheat varieties, current management needs to be re-evaluated. Many factors interact, but none so strongly as nitrogen and fungicides; Ontario research has found a true synergy between inputs. 1 plus 1 doesn’t always have to equal only 2! From planting dates through to harvest management, a look at what opportunities exist to drive wheat (and all cereal) yields higher, and make growers more profitable.

Peter is a strong advocate of social media and though his Twitter handle, @WheatPete, and through agronomic video tips posted on RealAgriculture.com he gives timely tips and answer questions from growers. Peter loves to talk WHEAT, join him in the FCC Theatre at 10:15 am on Thursday morning.

Root diseases continue to be important constraints to crop production in western Canada. Root rot can be caused by a number of fungi but Fusarium root rot is considered to be one of the most prevalent root diseases in crops such as dry beans, field peas and soybeans. As pulse crop and soybean acreages increase, the incidence of root rot caused by Fusarium spp. has been increasing. Debra McLaren, Research Scientist with Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, will discuss the current situation with root rot in Manitoba crops as well as current research findings and recommended management strategies for increasing agricultural performance by reducing the impact of root rot on crop productivity. Join Debra in the FCC Theatre at 2:00 pm on Thursday afternoon to learn more about root diseases in Manitoba crops.

Are Plant Growth Regulators the Answer to Cereal Crop Lodging?

Pam de Rocquigny – Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development 2:30 pM THURSDAY, January 21ST – FCC theatre

For many spring wheat growers in Manitoba, the 2015 growing season will be remembered as “The Year of the Lodging”. Typically, the primary cause of lodging is the combination of wind and wet weather.

However, many crop management factors can impact the crop’s susceptibility to lodging. On Thursday at 2:30 pm in the FCC Theatre Pam de Rocquigny, Provincial Cereal Crops Specialist with MAFRD will summarize why crops lodged in 2015 and the influence of various management factors to hopefully avoid a repeat in 2016. She will also share preliminary results from work being done with plant growth regulators in Manitoba.

The Pea Root Rot Story of Saskatchewan – What You Need to Know Sabine Banniza – University of Saskatchewan 10:30 AM THURSDAY, January 21ST – MNP theatre

Root rots have emerged as a limiting factor to pea and lentil production in Saskatchewan as a result of excessively high precipitation during 2010 to 2014. Soils that had been water-logged for extended periods or flooded created ideal conditions for a new pathogen, Aphanomyces euteiches, which has been widely identified across the province. Sabine, Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, will discuss some risk factors including water saturation in soil, soil compaction and tight rotations of susceptible host crops. Sabine will also share what research is underway to assist producers in minimizing the risk this pathogen poses to productivity. Come and hear Sabine’s talk on root rot in the MNP Theatre at 10:30 am on Thursday.

Tomorrow’s Weather: Warmer, Wetter and Wilder David Phillips – Environment Canada 11:00 AM THURSDAY, January 21ST – MNP theatre

More and more people are asking: What’s happening to our weather? It’s almost as if extreme and crazy weather has become the new norm. A majority of experts suggest that we are witnessing runaway climate change and that extreme weather may be the most telling and significant proof of an overheated planet. Climate extremes appear more frequent and intense, but they also seem to last longer. David Phillip, Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada, says we can no longer assume that yesterday’s weather will apply tomorrow. For Canadian agriculture it is not all bad news - there are both challenges and opportunities. Coping with more variable and extreme weather will take more ingenuity and adaptability - something Canadian food producers and agro-business people are good at. Come and hear what David has to say about the weather at 11:00 am in the MNP Theatre.

Income Tax Implication of Gifting Land From One Generation to the Next Stino Scaletta – MNP 1:00 PM THURSDAY, January 21ST – MNP theatre

Many farming parents would like to transition their land to their children. Conveniently, the Income tax Act allows you to transfer land at an amount between the cost of the land and fair market value.

But unforeseen tax liabilities can trap families if the transfer of land occurs at an amount greater than the cost of the land. Tax specialist with MNP, Stino Scaletta, will discuss these traps and ways of mitigating the impact that may occur when you transfer land to the next generation. Join Stino in the MNP Theatre on Thursday at 1:00 pm.

High Wheat Yield and Protein: Do I Really Need That Much N? John Heard – Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development 1:45 PM THURSDAY, January 21ST – MNP theatre

Kristen Phillips

Change is always hard! This past year our managers Jonothon and Christine Roskos decided to step back from their current roles as managers for our show. We would like to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication. They are a very dynamic couple and they brought our show into the land of “paperless business”. We can not thank them enough for their commitment to always bettering “Canada’s Largest Indoor Farm Show”! Jonothon has moved on to pursue other opportunities and is loving being back in his shop! Christine wasn’t quite ready to leave our great show and has stayed on as an administrative assistant. Kristen Phillips, long time board member, has transitioned into the General Manager role this year. Jonothon and Christine have been excellent mentors and Kristen has caught on quickly to the behind the scenes work that must go on to put on this show.

All of these changes allowed us to welcome Craig Davidson to our board as an industry representative. Craig, his wife Karla and their three children, farm near Virden, MB. Craig is the general manager and part owner of Tauras Ag Marketing Inc. We would like to welcome Craig to our board and look forward to putting him to work!

Sometimes seeing a piece of equipment in a brochure or catalogue just isn’t the same as being able to get up close and examine it.

Many of our Exhibitors have products that either just won’t fit within their indoor space or would like to showcase some of their newest equipment.

The outdoor displays allow you to check out extra equipment that you can’t see inside at the the show. Once you’ve had a chance to view the displays move on inside the show where you can grab a hot coffee and chat with the Exhibitor. You will find the Exhibitors listed here along with their inside location.

Manitoba Ag Days Show Guide 2016

We would like to thank everyone who bought a 50/50 ticket at the show last year; these donations were made possible from the proceeds of the 50/50 draw.

THE REAL STORY OF AG

“We take pride in knowing we would feel safe consuming any of the crops we sell. If we would not use it ourselves, it does not go to market.”

– Katelyn Duncan, Saskatchewan

“The natural environment is critical to farmers – we depend on soil and water for the production of food. But we also live on our farms, so it’s essential that we act as responsible stewards.”

– Doug Chorney, Manitoba

“The welfare of my animals is one of my highest priorities. If I don’t give my cows a high quality of life they won’t grow up to be great cows.”

– Andrew Campbell, Ontario

Safe food; animal welfare; sustainability; people care deeply about these things when they make food choices. And all of us in the agriculture industry care deeply about them too. But sometimes the general public doesn’t see it that way. Why? Because, for the most part, we’re not telling them our story and, too often, someone outside the industry is.

The journey from farm to table is a conversation we need to make sure we’re a part of. So let’s talk about it, together.

Visit AgMoreThanEver.ca to discover how you can help improve and create realistic perceptions of Canadian ag.
