Older farm technology may risk hacker attack
Out-of-date internet-connected systems can be a cybersecurity vulnerability on many Prairie farms, allowing hackers in
Five lessons from Agritechnica 2025
Chinese equipment, autonomy and interest in Canadian-made farm machinery were some trends at Agritechnica 2025
Chinese companies, autonomous farm equipment, interest in Canadian-made machinery were notable trends at Agritechnica 2025.
Iridium offers GPS spoofing defence
New Iridium chip could strengthen digital security for farm vehicles and equipment, which are increasingly tied into GPS navigation for precision farming and farm data gathering.
A tiny new chip will allow Iridium’s positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) signals to be received on smaller devices, create a security backstop against global positioning systems (GPS) spoofing.
Better pig data with biodegradable ear tags
Manitoba-made ear tag dissolves during hog processing, promises farmers easier path to data-driven, pig-specific farm management decisions
A Manitoba-made dissolving ear tag, called Clean Trace, could reduce processing challenges and enable more individual pig management on Canadian farms.
Lasers and artificial intelligence: welcome to high-tech weed control
Energy-based weed killing technology is emerging in a landscape where herbicide resistant weeds have become a persistant and growing problem for Canadian farmers.

Now is the time for Canada to rediscover its agricultural edge on the global stage
Data-driven farming will help Canada meet rising global demands for sustainability and traceability
Kip Eideberg of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers says government investment in precision farming technology needs to be scaled up to ensure farms of all sizes across all of Canada get support needed to modernize.
Robot seeder and weeder efficient for organic crops
A Saskatchewan organic producer reports stronger plant outcome using a precision agriculture robot for seeding
A Saskatchewan organic farmer, north of Prince Albert, reports measurable agronomic benefits in using FarmDroid, an autonomous robot seeding and weeding system, for smaller-seeded crops.
