AgSmart Returns To The Olds College Campus On July 30, 31

The fifth anniversary edition of AgSmart is almost here.
AgSmart is a two-day educational expo produced by Olds College and it is focused on data and technology across the agriculture industry.
Stacy Felkar, Event Co-Manager for AgSmart, notes that the unique expo brings the conference outdoors to the field and it showcases why it makes sense to invest in equipment and tech to capture data, as well as how to implement that into your current operation. She says “our highlights this year include live demos from drones to field scale equipment demos, over 40 expert educational sessions, over 100 crop plots, and over 100 interactive exhibits. The educational content brings focus on cropping and livestock. So there is something for everyone.”
For tickets or more information head to the website OldsAgSmart.ca. She says “way back when, when the concept was formed in 2018 we had this goal of creating this large interactive educational expo and it is very exciting to see what it continues to evolve and grow into each year. It is set to be bigger and better than ever this year.”
AgSmart runs from 8:30am until 4:30pm on Tuesday, July 30th and Wednesday, July 31st on the south portion of the Olds College Campus.
