Ag in Motion is set to go live again, after a two-year period focusing on digital events and online interactive content.
The Langham, Sask.-based outdoor farm event, owned by Glacier FarmMedia who also owns the Manitoba Co-operator, has scheduled an in-person event for July 19-21, 2022.
“On the ground and in person is where this show really comes to life,” said Rob O’Connor, Ag in Motion show director.
“We are hearing from our farmer and industry networks that they want a personal experience with live demonstrations, hands-on access to products and equipment, and meaningful face-to-face connections.”

The joys of fishing from shore
Manitoba has many lake and river shorelines to drop a fishing line without the cost of a boat, making shore fishing more accessible, and anglers can still catch impressive fish.
O’Connor said that in spite of recent COVID-19 developments, there is a lot of optimism for a return to a full event, given that Ag in Motion is held outdoors.
The event will see the return of equipment field demonstrations, crop plot tours, speakers and seminars, livestock displays and special live events.
“We’re proud that Ag in Motion was able to provide farmers access to important information for their farm operations during the two years of the pandemic,” says O’Connor. “However, being back in person will bring that familiar feel of community and hands-on experience that we’ve all been waiting for.”
O’Connor says that planning for July is well underway with many exhibitors and sponsors already on board.
Ag in Motion organizers will be closely monitoring current COVID-19 information and planning with the advice of local and provincial governments and health experts. The event will follow the Saskatchewan Health Authority and Saskatchewan provincial government regulations at the time of the event.
