The Manitoba government is welcoming thousands of producers, manufacturers, processors and retailers from across Canada, the United States and internationally to celebrate the evolution of agriculture at the 49th Annual Manitoba Ag Days, taking place this week at the Keystone Centre in Brandon.
“Manitoba farmers and agri-businesses are innovators who continue to adapt to challenges such as climate variability and market fluctuations,” said Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn. “Ag Days provides an important platform to share knowledge, showcase cutting-edge technologies and strengthen Manitoba’s position as a leader in agricultural excellence. Our government is committed to supporting this vital sector through strategic investments in research, innovation and sustainable practices.”
The three-day event will showcase the latest in agricultural technology, equipment and research, with speakers from across the world presenting throughout the exposition. A new vendor’s market will highlight local food and beverage products, giving attendees the chance to explore the province’s diverse agricultural offerings, the minister noted.
This year’s innovation showcase will be the largest in Ag Days history, featuring seven categories and 34 contenders, demonstrating Manitoba’s commitment to advancing technology and improving sustainability across the agriculture sector, the minister said.
“Manitoba Ag Days also provides an opportunity to recognize the challenges producers have faced in recent years,” Kostyshyn said. “Our government continues to support them through programs such as agricultural Crown land lease adjustments, AgriInsurance, new Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation locations, and initiatives promoting sustainability and economic growth in the agriculture sector.”
