Farmers attending Canada’s Farm Show in March will be able to take advantage of a unique educational opportunity.
The Farm Show runs from March 18-20 at REAL District in Regina, and an attraction announced Friday, will see Bushel Plus presenting the “Harvest Academy.”
It will take place on the final day of the show, Thursday, March 20, from 2:30 to 4 p.m., at the Launch Pad.
Producers face a never-ending challenge of trying to maximize yields, while keeping costs down, and Bushel Plus looks to help farmers accomplish that at harvest time.
The Harvest Academy is a hands-on session, aimed at teaching farmers practical strategies on how to get the most out of their equipment, and to unlock the full production and profit potential of their farms, especially during harvest.
The interactive sessions will feature discussions on how to minimize crop loss at harvest time, how to adjust and fine-tune equipment to get peak performance from harvest equipment, and how to run at peak efficiency, while keeping operational costs down.
CFS Show Manager Carla Vipond says, “Hands-on learning, interactive learning is a key feature of Canada’s Farm Show…we are here to help farmers prepare for the growing season, and the Harvest Academy will do this by helping them achieve annual measurable improvements on the farm and contributing to long-term success.”
