REGINA — Canada’s Farm Show is moving to March from its long-time June dates.

As the show got underway June 18, the Regina Exhibition Association Ltd. (REAL) announced the change, saying extensive consultation with the show’s advisory committee resulted in the new dates after 46 years in June.

“Extensive consultations with farmers, exhibitors and sponsors revealed that March aligns better with farming cycles. This change allows us to offer the first look at the latest equipment and technology, along with the essentials, to gear up for a new growing season,” said acting REAL president Roberta Engel.
