ALLIANCE SEED

On behalf of Manitoba Agriculture and the Province of Manitoba, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Manitoba Ag Days 2018.

Ag Days is an opportunity for conversation, collaboration and celebration. Having producers, industry and government come together in one place is an excellent opportunity to learn from one another. Ideas and solutions to new issues are discussed. We also need to celebrate. Our industry works hard and needs to take a few minutes to recognize how far we have come and what the future holds in store for us.

I invite you to walk through the displays and see how technology and innovation is changing our business. Take advantage of the opportunity to talk to the folks in the booths. Connecting with those in attendance is a way for them to learn about your needs and to offer their expertise.

As you make your way through the booths and seminars, I would also encourage you to talk to our Manitoba Agriculture staff. We are here to listen and to engage in discussion. These events are a great way for us to share with you the tools and supports that are relevant and responsive to your needs.

Networking also occurs when in your seats and the hallways. Ag Days brings the ag community together so its members can talk to each other, offer support and exchange ideas. There is great value in that.

Thank you to the organizing committee and all in attendance for continuing to make this a premiere event for the agricultural community in Western Canada.

AGRICULTURE was the backbone of the settlement of the City of Brandon 135 years ago, and it continues to be a cornerstone of our economy to this day. Brandon takes very seriously its role as the second largest City in the Province and as the regional hub of Western Manitoba.

To that end, we are honoured to play host on an annual basis to Manitoba Ag Days and I’m thrilled to welcome all exhibitors, sponsors and participants to the 41st Anniversary of the show.

Agriculture is an ever evolving complex business that relies on continuous advancement of technology, equipment, expertise and best practices. As Canada’s Largest Indoor Farm Show, Ag Days provides producers and suppliers an unparalleled opportunity to learn, share and make contacts. With over 550 exhibits and

50,000 visitors, Ag Days has a stature envied throughout North America. Our Keystone Centre, which has been developed with agriculture in mind, is the ideal facility for a show of this kind.

On behalf of Brandon City Council and our 50,000 residents, please accept our warm welcome. Congratulations to the Board of Directors, volunteers, show staff, exhibitors and participants on another outstanding event. I trust the show will prove fruitful in the advancement of your industry and that you will enjoy connecting with friends and colleagues.

Enjoy Ag Days 2018.

Sincerely,

Mayor Rick Chrest

Welcome to Manitoba Ag Days 2018 for our 41st 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. 2017 was a year for the books!!

Some Manitoba growers’ experienced record low rainfalls, some experienced record high rainfalls, some experienced average to above average yields while others put the “crop of a life time” into the bins! With every growing season we all wonder “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 Inventor’s Showcase, The New Inventions and the Farm Safety Features will all be back and bigger than ever!

We also have a full barn for Bull Congress and the seminar theatres are hosting over 60 speakers this year! This show will not disappoint!

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.

Have you ever tried our interactive maps out on our website? Take some time to plan out your day! You can even bookmark all of the booths in advance that you want to take in!

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.

This year we are running with the theme “THE YEAR OF THE YOUNG FARMER”. We really want to engage the next generation and get them out to Ag Days! We are going to have a Young Farmers Lounge at Ag Days and a Young Farmer Selfie Station! Young Farmers will be highlighted all over our show!

Let’s show the other provinces that Manitoba is Ag Proud! And who knows … you might just win an awesome grand prize if you participate.

Thank you to the many sponsors of Manitoba Ag Days; our show would not be the success it is without your partnerships! Thank you for supporting not only our show but this amazing industry! 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!

We look forward to seeing you at Ag Days 2018 – It’s Where the Ag Year Begins.

Nitrogen Management for High Yielding Spring Wheat in Manitoba ■■ 11:00 AM

Amy Mangin, PhD Candidate, University of Manitoba

Survival Guide to Marketing – From Field to Market

High yielding spring wheat varieties being grown in Manitoba, along with improved agronomic practices, have challenged our traditional nitrogen (N) fertilization strategies. The main objective of this project was to determine appropriate nitrogen rates, timings and sources to maximize yield and protein levels in two varieties of spring wheat commonly grown in Manitoba: AAC Brandon (CWRS) and Prosper (CNHR). A summary of results will be presented for trials conducted across Manitoba during the 2016 and 2017 growing seasons. Rates of N applied entirely in the spring (urea and/or ESN), as well as in split N applications (combinations of spring and either stem elongation or flag leaf) were evaluated. Post anthesis, foliar applications of UAN and urea solution were also investigated. A number of tools for mid-season evaluation of yield and protein sufficiency during the growing season were examined including, GreenSeeker, SPAD meter, tissue tests, and soil testing.

Dustin Gabor, Owner, Grain Shark

Dustin runs through all the tools he uses on a day to day basis using canola as the focus example. He will also give you a better understanding of how to easily keep track of the market, and will provide a current forecast of where things are headed!

What Puts the “Malt” in Malting Barley?

Lorelle Selinger, North American Merchandising Manager, Cargill Malt

In ancient Greece, barley was used as a super food for gladiators. In ancient Egypt, barley served as a currency. In the 1300’s, the King of England declared that one inch should be the measure of three barley kernels. Today in Canada, we grow over eight million metric tonnes of barley, over half of which is malting varieties. Malting barley, converted to malt, is primarily used in the brewing of beer, but is also used in spirits and many food products.

What makes malting barley, malting quality? What specifications are important to maltsters and why?

We Have the Wheat Genome Sequence – Now What?

High Yields – What is Possible & What is Not

Richard Cuthbert, Wheat Breeder, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada

Dr. Rigas Karamanos, Senior Agronomist, Koch Fertilizer Canada, ULC

We are experiencing a time of unprecedented molecular technology innovation in wheat. In 2017, a full wheat genome sequence was released to the public. How can wheat breeders use this enormous resource to develop new wheats which respond to economically important production challenges like fusarium head blight, evolving rusts, and climate extremes while maintaining targeted market class acceptance?

Maximum yield is a function of crop genetics, solar radiation, water, and nutrients. This presentation will attempt to answer what crop yields are possible and what fertility and moisture levels are required to get there. Fertility products are necessary to meet plant fertility needs, so a discussion on how to decide whether a product works or not will follow.

A “good” product should provide both agronomic and economic benefits to producers. Its behavior must be predictable within reason and its application supported by ample scientific evidence.

Increasing Farm Organization Impact

Pushing the Crops Genetic Potential – Agronomic Practices to Make it Pay

Rob Hannam, Founder, Synthesis Agri-Food Network

Five provincial farm organizations are investigating the potential to have more impact for farmer members by merging together. The Manitoba Corn Growers Association, Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers, Manitoba Flax Growers Association, National Sunflower Association of Canada and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association have been exploring this opportunity. Rob Hannam has been facilitating this process and will share the proposal that has been developed by a farmer led steering committee from the five organizations.

■■ 3:30 PM

Jarrett Chambers, President, ATP Nutrition

Jarrett will highlight key management practices required to hit their yields of 91 and 94 bushel per acre on canola and yellow peas, respectively. Currently, the average Canadian yield for a canola and pea crop are close to 36 and 40 bushels per acre. This is only 50% of the yield when compared to some other countries and is definitely not even close to these crops maximum genetic yield potential. Jarrett will focus on the agronomics of growing 90+ bushel per acre crop and will bring insights into different ways in achieving this, along with different sampling techniques to better understand the health of the plant. There will be emphasis on the importance and ultimately the impact of correct and proactive nutrient management has on the crop. This is a must see seminar to be engaged into how proper plant nutrition can bring a crop closer to its genetic yield potential.

Marketing is a Four Letter Word

Brian Voth, President, IntelliFARM Inc.

■■ 10:30 AM

Grain marketing is never without it's challenges. Whether it's the wrong timing and panic selling, rallies during the growing season which mean taking on production risk, or a plethora of quality issues to deal with; grain marketing well has never been easy. Possibly the bane of most farm operations, more often than not marketing is where money is left on table. How do you manage price risk with production risk? The key is having a plan, and sticking to it.

Healthy “Living” Soils Grow Crops

Manitoba Ag Days Show Guide 2018

Greg Patterson, President, A&L Laboratories Inc.

Soil Health is on everyone’s mind and people are seeking more sustainable agriculture with a reduction in the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Soil Health is a combination of biological, chemical and physical properties that determine the Soil Quality. These two terms will continue to overlap as we look at soil, not just as a lifeless inert growing medium, but more as a living, dynamic and continually changing ecological environment.

Soil Health in a Changing Climate: A New Research Project Stephen Crittenden, Research Scientist, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada

Which farming system will be more resistant to changing growing conditions? Climate change is expected to bring more frequent summer drought to the Canadian Prairies so crop growing conditions will be increasingly stressed and risk of yield losses and failure could increase. Crops need water to grow and the supply of nutrients is reduced under drought conditions, thus growth and yield are lessened. Heavy rainfall washes away nutrients, seals soil, and damages crops. Reduced soil tillage intensity systems (e.g., no-till) lessen soil disturbance, which promote soil structure that shifts water and nutrient fluxes.

Crop irrigation relieves water stress and promotes plant growth increasing soil organic matter input to soil. Reduced tillage systems and irrigation may on one hand promote healthy functioning soils that result in higher crop yields but on the other hand disease pressures and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions may increase. A balance must therefore be struck between practices beneficial for water and nutrient fluxes and risks involved with greater potential for Fusarium head blight (FHB) and GHG emissions. The proposed project will evaluate the impact of soil tillage intensity and irrigation on soil health, GHG emissions, soil and microbial biodiversity, and incidence and severity of FHB under drought and heavy rainfall conditions.

Manitoba Ag Days Show Guide 2018

Marsha Harris, Marriage & Family Therapist, Brandon University

There is considerable evidence to support the stereotype of farmers and farm families as being tough and resourceful. There is also considerable evidence that stress, anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion and burnout are higher among farmers and farm families than among other populations. It is possible to experience both sides of this coin at the same time: to be tough and resourceful as well as experiencing a mental health concern. Farm people learn from an early age to put on a brave face and work through their problems. It is one of the many characteristics that make farmers successful. But, it can also mean that farmers are less likely to acknowledge they are struggling, and to seek help when they need it. It takes courage to talk about mental health. It all starts with learning more about what mental health is, and the signs that you or your loved one might be struggling. It means reaching out for support when and if you need it.

Join the discussion to tap into the resourcefulness of farmers and farm families and build the conversation about mental health and impacts on our farming communities.

Watershed Management Across the Fence Lines – Challenges & Opportunities Dr. Allan Preston, Chair, Assiniboine River Basin Initiative

Water flows across many fence lines, many borders, and management of this valuable, but at times frustrating, resource, falls back on all of us in the watershed. The Assiniboine River Basin Initiative (ARBI) was formed in 2014 by a diverse group of stakeholders across the Qu'Appelle, Souris and Assiniboine sub-basins. ARBI's vision is to work together to achieve a resilient Basin where comprehensive integrated watershed actions will benefit current and future generations. In order to achieve this vision, a framework plan has been developed to guide ARBI and its partners on the path forward, and ensure that a variety of tools are in the "fencing box". One of these tools is the Manitoba Forage and Grasslands Association Aquanty Project. This project seeks to develop a detailed hydrogeospheric (HGS) model for the Basin, and new risk management tools to reduce the impact of extreme flood or drought events for the agricultural industry within the Basin. Just like good fences, good water management makes for good neighbors.

Buying With Confidence: Executing Your Equipment Plan

Star Wars & Star Trek: How Precision Ag May Land in the Farm of the Future

Peter Manness, Farm Management Consultant, MNP LLP

David Yee, Vice President of Operations, Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI)

Leasing vs. Buying is the question that gets asked the most regarding equipment purchases, but it is only one small part of managing your equipment replacement plan.

Flipping your entire fleet every year is not an option for most farms, but not buying anything might not be the greatest tactic either. Understanding the short and long-term impacts of your equipment buying decisions is an essential part of your farm’s success.

The landscape of Precision Ag from an equipment and machinery aspect is rapidly changing. Non-traditional companies and participants are focusing on bringing high tech to agriculture in hopes of improving agronomic and economic results on farms. This presentation will offer a sneak peek on some of the emerging technologies that are being developed for the farm of the near and distant future.

Fusarium Damaged Grains…Options Dr. Rex Newkirk, Associate Professor, University of Saskatchewan

What is the most efficient and cost effective method to recover high quality grain from your fusarium infected wheat and barley? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? The objective of this presentation is to explore cleaning, sorting and processing options to recover value from your infected wheat, durum and barley. Cleaning processes to remove the most infected samples is the starting point for all processes and in some cases will achieve your goals. However, if you need to meet the very tight standards for Vomitoxin for Barley for Malt or Wheat and Durum for the milling industry, additional processing technology is required. This presentation will explore and discuss each of these technologies including, density separation, optical sorting and Near Infrared sorting using the BoMill. Come and discover for yourself which technology can recover the maximum value from your infected crops.

Imagine a different way. Autonomous cars will soon be driving the streets of the world; these cars can guide themselves without a human conducting any operations. In agriculture, standardized autonomous ‘power units’ have the ability to complete limitless tasks for farmers while freeing their time for other work. The DOT Power Platform is a mobile diesel-powered platform designed to handle a large variety of implements commonly used in agriculture, mining and construction. Its U-shaped frame facilitates the direct loading of implements, so that, once loaded, the implement “becomes one” with the mobile powered platform. DOT’s short- and long-range sensors make the power platform more accurate and attentive than any human. DOT constantly updates itself with images of the physical world around itself and processes the data at lightning speed.

Working for farmers, DOT completes tasks remotely and autonomously and enables farmers to spend more of their time focusing on the overall operation of their farms. Or in other words, we are re-imagining how farming can be done from the ground up.

Weather for 2018? Expect the Unexpected!

■■ 9:40 AM

Andrew Nadler, Agricultural Meteorologist, Peak HydroMet Solutions

If there’s one thing a prairie growing season can teach us, it’s to expect the unexpected! This statement is usually followed by a string of bad news that has afflicted crops – floods, droughts, heat waves, frost, hail, disease... The 2017 growing season proved to be different.

Despite being one of the driest on record, yields turned out to be much higher than expected.

Quality was excellent. So, what does this mean for next year? Does it mean anything? Will Mother Nature seek her vengeance? This presentation will take a look at where we are now and provide a glimpse of what to expect for weather next growing season.

■■ 1:45 PM

Not My Grandpa’s Organic Farm Katherine Stanley, Organic Extension Specialist, Manitoba Organic Alliance/University of Manitoba

"All four of my grandparents started their farming careers using what are essentially organic methods - crop rotation, livestock integration and some mechanical weed control."

- Martin Entz.

Modern Organic farming builds on these fundamentals, but involves a deeper scientific understanding of soil and plant process plus exciting new farm machinery. This presentation will highlight the latest approaches and machines available for organic farming on the prairies, and provide examples of what modern organic farming methods can offer.

Big Yields Mean Big Nutrient Consumption John Heard, Crop Nutrition Specialist, Manitoba Agriculture

■■ 10:10 AM

Cereal and canola crops produced some very good yields in 2017, in spite of low growing season rainfall. The nutrient removal by such a crop can be high and growers should account for such removal with soil testing and appropriate fertilization. Considering we under fertilized for the crop that was harvested and removed excess straw how do we manage moving forward?

Cash Cropping With Intercrops Colin Rosengren, Producer, Midale, SK

Colin will discuss the economic, agronomic and environmental impacts of intercropping.

Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice involving growing two or more crops in proximity. The most common goal of intercropping is to produce a greater yield on a given piece of land.

■■ 2:30 PM

Crop Rotations – Slippery Slope or Economic Opportunity?

Anastasia Kubinec, Manager of Crop Industry Development, Manitoba Agriculture

n 11:10 AM

The crop landscape in Manitoba has changed in the past 20 years, from a sea of wheat to yellow canola fields dominating and now rising acres of soybeans. The key recommendations for crop rotation has not though. The same crop in tight rotations on the same field eventually mean higher pest incidence and lower yields. So what is the "best" rotation to reduce pests and make the maximum return? Depends on your pests, what crops you can grow well in your area and how simple or complex you want to make it!

■■ 1:30 PM

Seeking Sustainability Through Innovation: A Look at the Cattle Industry Kim Ominski, Professor, University of Manitoba

As the global population increases, the demand for animal protein is expected to rise. The agriculture industry, in particular the beef sector, is faced with the challenge of increasing production while improving economic and environmental sustainability. As input costs are expected to rise, along with competition for invaluable resources such as land, energy and water, we must adopt new management practices in order to improve sustainability of beef production systems.

The presentation will talk about the juggling or struggling between financial sustainability, and environmental sustainability to be sustainable. Trevor willl talk about the courses, tools and practices we have implemented such as rotational grazing and gross margin analysis. Adding how these tools have led to improving productivity of the land, cattle and our bottom line and push us to continue to find new tools, ideas and research (i.e. F1 females, utilizing genetic data to increase certain traits in calf crops) that continue our quest to be sustainable for future generations.

■■ 2:30 PM

Evaluation of Soil Health Under Different Grazing Management Systems in Manitoba Dr. Terence McGonigle, Professor, Brandon University

Soil health is normally evaluated in terms of productivity based outcomes, such as forage biomass or cattle gains. However, use of an indicator measurement on soil itself would allow prediction of outcomes, as well as provide an opportunity for management intervention to maximize profitability and preserve the integrity of the land. Soil organic carbon is one of several indicators that have been considered. We note that an important part of field productivity relies on microbe activity for mineralization and uptake to plants.

Thus, the approach taken here was to test the use of microbial biomass carbon (MBC) as an indicator of soil health.

Anyone who uses a tractor on and off the road knows that a typical lug tractor tire does not last long or provide much driving comfort on the road. That is why the Nokian TRI 2 was designed specifically for tractors that drive on the road. From roadside mowing to construction, from road maintenance to snow removal, the application range for the TRI 2 is almost limitless. The Nokian TRI 2 also features low rolling resistance which reduces fuel consumption. With fuel prices as high as they are today, the Nokian TRI 2 can help reduce the fuel cost for your business or municipality.

Ideal under a wide range of conditions • Approved for speeds of up to 40 mph • High driving stability on roads allows your operator to work faster • Significantly longer tread wear on the road • Excellent self cleaning • Good traction off the road • 19.51R24 size available for Backhoes • Manufactured without aromatic oils that are harmful to the environment

Somebody should speak up.

Somebody should set the record straight.

Somebody should do something.

Don’t know where to start? Here are a few tips.

Speak from the heart You live and love ag. Share that love with the world.

“Having a conversation with a consumer is actually not as hard as you think. You’re basically telling them what you do.”

– Ravi Bathe, Poultry and Berry Producer

Well I’m somebody.

You’re somebody.

Everyone in ag is somebody.

So be somebody who does something.

Somebody who speaks from a place of experience, with passion and conviction.

Somebody who proudly takes part in food conversations big or small, so our voice is heard.

Somebody who tells our story, before someone else does.

Somebody who builds consumer trust so our industry can meet the demands of a growing, and very hungry, world.

Be somebody who does something.

Be an agvocate.

Go where the conversations are Be an active voice and help shape people’s relationship with ag.

“In order for consumers to support and understand us, they need to know us better. The best people to explain this are the people who live agriculture.”

– Natacha Lagarde, Maple Syrup Producer

Somebody who shapes people’s relationship with agriculture.

It can be done.

But it’s a big job that takes co-operation, patience and respect for every voice in the conversation.

We need to build lines of communication, not draw lines in the sand.

Be somebody who helps everybody see Canadian agriculture as the vital, modern industry it is.

Somebody who helps everybody see people in ag for what they are – neighbours, friends, and family who share the same concern everyone does: providing safe, healthy food to the people we love.

Our point of view is important.

Our story is important.

And people want to hear what we have to say.

So be somebody who takes, and makes, every opportunity to share it.

I’m somebody.

You’re somebody.

Together, we can tell everybody.

Be open and honest Transparency creates trust, so tell your story.

“What do we have to hide? Nothing. I eat the food I produce.

If we tell our story honestly, people will trust us.”

– Sam Bourgeois, Apple Producer

Being an agvocate is easier than you think and we can help.

Visit AgMoreThanEver.ca for resources and tips, and join our community of agvocates from across the country.

Inventor's Showcase Exhibitors Dugout to RO

GEM-L The Wilson Pacesetter equipped with the AgriLite conveyor system provides farmers and coops with a year round, time and money saving piece of equipment. Fill air seeders, deep banders, and spreaders at over 4,000 lbs/min. Over 10’ of swing eliminates the need to reposition equipment. Easily operate the system from one of two control panels, or remotely. The conveyor removes in less than one hour for a regular grain trailer to be used year round.

The BinKnocker

Utilizing a process that was perfected over a 12-year span the Dugouts to RO system converts surface ground water i.e. dugouts into affordable, safe, clean, potable water.

The system does not use salt, chemicals or chlorination while generating no waste water which conventional Reverse Osmosis systems do. Using RO technology and UltraViolet lights the Dugouts-to-RO system provides a 4-stage process for the removal of contaminants and pathogens with the end result being pure safe water.

Tide Industries Zero Spray fits on the front of most common brands of Zero Turn mowers. It comes fully assembled and pressure tested from factory.

It mounts easily without any modification to the mower and goes from box to spraying in minutes. It has a simple on/off foot switch, high quality wand and Ultra Low Drift spray nozzles. Our customers tell us it is the best landscape sprayer they have ever used.

Prairie Grain Analyzers Prairie Grain Analyzers is the manufacturer of the first Canadian, portable, digital moisture analyzer. The MA-404 moisture analyzer provides precise moisture and meter reading results at operating temperatures of -20°C to 65°C. It includes a color touch screen, built in printer, Wi-Fi connectivity for remote updates, and a USB port that allows the user to label and store data on an Excel spreadsheet which can be accessed later on a computer.

Inventor's Showcase Exhibitors The BinKnocker is a very simple tool to measure product levels inside of metal grain, fertilizer and frac sand bins from the ground on the outside of the bin. It is essentially a hockey puck on a loop of rope suspended on the outside of the bin by stainless steel brackets. In a matter of seconds one can unfasten the rope from the cleat, raise or lower the rope and flick it against the side of the bin. The hollow or full sound is unmistakable. You know instantly where that product is at.

Devloo Canola Crusher

ROGA Drone ROGA Drone is the first company in Canada to receive a Special Flight Operating Certificate from Transport Canada for aerial application of pesticide by UAV. The Kray protection UAV being used is uses ultra-low volume spraying technology and is a compound multi rotor UAV capable of speeds up to 110 kph. It incorporates lidair obstacle avoidance and has terrain follow to fly 1 meter over crop canopy. It has pre-flight mission planning and can be flown fully autonomous. The productivity range is from 300-500 ha/day.

The Devloo canola crusher is the fastest, most convenient way to check green count in canola seed. It is compact, portable and easy to use, requires no batteries or hydro.

For durability, stainless steel, high grade aluminum and shaft bushings are used. The base has rubber pads for traction. To operate simply drop a canola sample into the seed hopper, turn the hand crank four turns, in seconds you have a sample ready for inspection with the seed arranged on tape and crushed.

Cooperhead Closing Wheel

Bradford Wick Applicator - The product was designed to control weeds that stand taller than the crop that is being grown. it allows producers to apply chemical to targeted weeds without doing any damage to the crop

Copperhead Ag produces the best, research and time proven closing wheels in the agriculture industry. Invented by farmers, tested by farmers, Copperhead Ag closing wheels produce the return on your seed investment. For more details about our closing wheels visit www.copperheadag.com

Scher Gain Our product has been developed as a safe, easy, and fast way to measure combine losses. With today's large horsepower combines many growers are throwing profits out of the back of the combines due to excessive travel speeds or poor settings. We believe that the most money you can make per hour farming may be properly setting your combine. Invented to help farmers by farmers.

Bushel Plus BushelPlus is a remote controlled drop pan system that attaches to any combine without wiring. The operator has the choice of two different drop pan sizes that fit in different crop conditions and will release from a remote. For fast sample cleaning right in the field, the set includes our unique BushelPlus separator unit. Provided is a field scale and reference guide to quickly determine your harvest loss.

Best New Product 2017

2018 Bull Congress Exhibitors

At Manitoba Ag Days you’ll always find the latest in technology and equipment with many new products that have just entered the market place which have never been seen before. Be sure to check out the exhibitors that have highlighted New Products for the 2018 show. They can be found by their signage identifying them at the show as well as the listing on our website www.agdays.com.

Exhibitors 2018

First Prize Best New Product - Winner of the Best New Product 2017 was SeedMaster - SeedMaster’s new Tunable Tower offers farmers new access to metering and distribution data and a way to respond to it.

Another SeedMaster advantage to make sure you’re making the most out of your input investment and growing the best crop you can. Working in conjunction with the XeedSystem, individual seeds are actually counted as they’re distributed down they’re individual runs. The Tunable Tower has a centre cone that can be adjusted to balance product flow if variances are noted on the tablet screen in the cab of the tractor. This means valuable seed and fertilizer are efficiently distributed and placed in the ground. Tunable Tower technology means a smarter use of the inputs, a consistent and rigorous stand, and more money in your wallet.

Honourable Mention to: Eastwood Products for their Heavy Equipment Jack

If you are involved with cattle and looking to find some of the best genetics in the country then you need to attend Bull Congress at Manitoba Ag Days. Producers interested in breeding stock have a chance to talk to the exhibitors about their herd genetics and do a little comparing as well with the ability to see the animals up close.

The Farm Fans Quiet Dryer is 50% quieter than vane axial portable dryers. Not only is this dryer quieter, but it produces a more comfortable, less harsh tone.

Farm Safety

Farm Safety Safe Work / Manitoba Farm Safety Program

Farm Safety Messages Farm Safety is of the utmost importance to our board and we want to keep our patrons, exhibitors, friends and family safe. So we created "The Farm Safety Feature" at our show to highlight companies and organizations that are doing their part to keep people safe. Watch for these 10 exhibitors throughout our show with their special signage! We are pleased to have the The Ca-

nadian Agricultural Safety Association join us with their new "BeGrainSafe" mobile grain entrapment demo trailer at the 2018 show. Last year they had to borrow their friends unit from the states but this year they are going to have their actual Canadian Unit at the show, They will be running demos every hour on the hour at the show out on the Westman Place Arena Ice Surface!

■■ Booth #226 to 228 UCT Pavilion The Manitoba Farm Safety Program is proud to assist farmers manage safety on their farms. As a non-government agency whose mandate is prevention rather than enforcement, we offer FREE on-farm consultations, training, and various support services. Our role is to help you understand your responsibilities as a business owner and employer, and to simplify safety legislation to make it make the most sense for your operation.

Soaring Eagle ■■ Booth # 1819 and 1820 Barn 4 Soaring Eagle Grain Equipment Inc. has designed an all new feature, it is the first of its kind on the market.

The Bin Knocker

CASA

■■ Booth #1826 Barn 4

■■ Booth # 1001 Westman Place Arena The BeGrainSafe program is about saving lives. The BeGrainSafe mobile unit raises awareness about the hazards of moving grain at events like Manitoba Ag Days. It is available for training first responders in rescue techniques and by larger farms to develop customized emergency procedures. Thanks to the BeGrainSafe Sponsors for making this program a reality!

The BinKnocker was born with safety in mind. Having to monitor bin levels during a busy season requires climbing ladders often. Fatigue, hurry and sometimes wet or icy conditions increased the hazard. Often the ladder leaning against the bin was unsafe. The BinKnocker nearly eliminates the need the climb a ladder to check our bin levels. This job is now done from the ground in a fraction of the time.

Bushel Plus Lakeshore Sales

■■ Booth 1828 Barn 4

■■ Booth #1802 Barn 4

Bushel Plus was born years ago when we were measuring harvest losses by running beside combines and throwing pans underneath. Always close to the back tire and dust, we realized we needed to come up with something that is safer and faster for farmers, agronomists and product specialists. Our customers around the world have continued to comment on the efficiency and safety that our remote control drop pan and cleaning system provides them!

The ChuteMax Remote Control Truck Chute Opener allows the operator to stand out of the dust and away from the auger while unloading grain. Fill your air drill from on top of the tank without the hurry and stress of rushing down the ladder. This easy to use remote controlled 12 volt system is a must have for today's busy farming operation.
