“The first two days of Ag Days 2024 are filled with dynamic speakers and interactive panel discussions and cover a wide variety of subjects. Looking forward to Thursday’s program, it is about agronomy! If you want to learn about plant and soil health you’ll have lots of sessions to choose from,” commented Kristen Phillips, Manitoba Ag Days General Manager.

The FCC Theatre program starts on Thursday at 9:30AM when you can join Edgar Hammersmeister for a session debating To Maximize or to Optimize. At 10:15AM Dr. Don Flaten shares his thoughts on Optimizing P Fertilizer and P Fertility Management on Your Farm. Tim Lang rounds out the morning with a session about your advisory team. You won’t want to leave early, because the afternoon sessions are farmer-centered! Starting at 1:00PM Jay Whetter will lead a discussion about the use of variable rate technology and will be joined by three panelists who will share their experiences, insights and lessons learned. Scott Fairburn will round out the afternoon with a session entitled A Customer-Driven Approach to Equipment and will speak about how farmers and ag companies are working together to co-create the next technology for your farm.

If you are interested in soybeans, peas or pulses, the MNP Theatre is the place to be on Thursday morning for the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers Program. Beginning at 9:00AM there is a full morning of sessions that dig deep into soil, roots and all things happening under the surface of your fields. In the afternoon the focus shifts and we get a bit salty! We have a full afternoon of discussions about salinity from a variety of perspectives. Join us for an afternoon of ideas brought to you by researchers, agronomists and farmers.
