Farming Smarter receives financial boost from Alberta government for potato research
Farming Smarter near Lethbridge got a boost to its research equipment, thanks to the Alberta government’s increase in funding for research associations.
“When it’s outside, farmers can really see the breadth and depth of what we offer them, and they can come and touch it and get a sense of how we can impact their farm.”
Dyck said the firm is excited to be introducing exciting new products, including one game-changer from its portable handling line.
“It’s a brand new concept and it’s kind of hush-hush so I can’t say much about it until you see it at the show,” she said.
Nutrien will be making a splash around the show grounds with its “cash cart” game, using a concept similar to the Cash Cab television show, says Cynthia Deitz, senior manager seed communications with the company.
Farmers will take a ride around the show and answer questions about Proven seed. With every correct answer they’ll get $100 “Nutrien bucks.”
“Contestants will be able to call out to a fellow farmer for help answering the question,” she said.
On the big iron side, attendees may want to check out Horsch’s display. There they’ll see the 80-foot prototype Sprinter toolbar, which has been widely-tested near Tisdale, Sask., but is being revealed to the farming public for the first time.
Romain Cloue, a special project co-ordinator who works on the Sprinter system, says the dual shank unit has rubber suspension elements paired with Horsch’s proven distribution head system that’s widely used in Europe.
“This is the first time we’ll show it to Canadian farmers,” he said.
There’s also a 1,500 bushel grain cart that’s the largest on the market, with a number of key refinements to make it more efficient for farmers.
Also on display will be a large-scale Avatar disc-seeding unit.
