AgSmart 2019 a success

Aug 16, 2019 | 6:38 AM

OLDS- From robotic farm equipment and cattle-ranching drone demos to educational sessions, food trucks and beer gardens, AgSmart 2019 had something for everyone.

Agri-Trade and Olds College’s new event, AgSmart welcomed over 2,000 people to the inaugural two-day hands-on demonstration and education expo focused on agriculture technology and data across the sector – how to gather it, and how to use it to enhance productivity and profits.

The expo featured conference style education sessions and workshops.

AgSmart welcomed over 75 exhibitors to the outdoor show, and had several hands-on agriculture technology demos for people to experience, including the Alberta debut of the DOT autonomous robotic platform, the Ag Maximizer hay dryer and AgraCity Drones to name a few.

“We are very happy with the turnout for AgSmart 2019,” comments Stacy Felkar, Event Co-Manager, AgSmart. “We have been hearing a lot of positive feedback from both attendees and exhibitors.”
