Early Bird Tickets To AgSmart Available Until July 1

Early bird ticket pricing is available until July 1st for the 5th anniversary edition of AgSmart.
The two days of demonstrations, education, and innovation are coming up July 30th and 31st on the south portion of the Olds College campus.
Stacy Felkar, Event Co-Manager, mentions it is very interesting because each year the industry just grows and evolves from year to year, and it is so amazing to see how far we have come since the first edition of AgSmart. She says “This year our highlights include live demos from drones to field scale equipment. We have 40 expert educational sessions. Over 110 crop plots and over 100 interactive exhibits. We have a few special events that are included with your ticket including morning coffee, the social networking event and a lot more. There are a few groups that are hosting their event in conjunction with AgSmart this year and we have Alberta Crop Diagnostics Day on July 31st with sessions and demos plots showcasing pulses, grains, and canola.”
Felkar notes they are still looking to fill some of the last volunteer roles including event set up support, registration, morning coffee, and more.
Go online to AgSmartOlds.ca to sign up as a volunteer, to purchase tickets, and to see a complete schedule of events – including the educational sessions.
Listen to 96.5 CKFM’s Community Hotline conversation with Stacy Felkar.
