The sneak peek of Manitoba Ag Days 2026

Canada’s largest indoor farm show, Manitoba Ag Days, returns to Brandon’s Keystone Centre Jan. 20-22, 2026. Here’s what to expect this year.

Two keynote speakers, networking periods and informational sessions are all on the agenda this year.

“Cherilyn Jolly-Nagel, who was recently recognized as one of the Top 50 Most Influential People in Canadian Agriculture, will be talking about promoting agriculture rather than defending,” conference organizers said in a release earlier this fall.

The second keynote speech will come from Kim Ulmer of RBC who “will be celebrating and challenging us to value the beautiful country we live in,” the same release read.

The 2023 conference will tackle topics ranging from finances and farm transition to technical equipment knowledge, farm safety, mental health and stress and personal organization. Options on the schedule include a combine college at Greenvalley Equipment and sessions on building credit score. The event’s tour of Vanderveen Greenhouse, however, is full, according to the event’s website.

“Farm women, business partners who work in agriculture, rural women who want to celebrate the rural life we enjoy, all are welcome,” organizers have said.

Registration is available on the conference’s website at mfwc.ca.
