A 27-year track record of connecting farmers and agribusiness is bringing long-standing and new exhibitors to Canada’s Digital Farm Show.

Canada’s Digital Farm Show, which takes place Sept. 15 – 18, is a digital-only edition of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, which has been held annually since 1994. Activities at the show site near Woodstock, ON will be streamed online to farmers via home computers, tablets, and Android and iOS devices. Farmers participate for free.

“We had a very clear mandate in creating Canada’s Digital Farm Show for 2020,” explains Owen Smelski, the show’s Exhibits and Demonstration Manager.

“This event reflects the same values and purpose of connecting farmers and companies in agriculture.”

During the four days of Canada’s Digital Farm Show, a powerful, interactive platform will match farmers to the activities most relevant to them, and enable instant one-on -one conversations between farmers and exhibitors. Plot tours and equipment demonstrations – always among the most popular show events – will give farmers a between-the-rows, from-the-tractor-seat visual experience they haven’t had before.

Smelski notes that the digital-only format is drawing interest from farmers and exhibitors well outside the show’s traditional visitor radius. Canada’s Digital Farm Show corporate partners or exhibitors for 2020 include Kubota Canada, John Deere and BKT Tires. Producer association partners include Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association, and more.
