Join Farming Smarter at their 2022 Conference & Trade Show!

Join us for two full days of research results, brainstorming ideas, and engaging conversations. We found some great keynote speakers and have updates from all our research programs including strip tillage, precision planting, cover crops, variable rate irrigation, and much more! See the full agenda below.

We always give lots of time to network with your peers and wander the Trade Show where you can make great connections with local businesses and see what’s new for 2022. Both days include hot breakfast and lunch!

Because we’re at the Lethbridge Exhibition Park, the Restrictions Exemption Program is in place, but there is lots of room to spread out and great ventilation.

The conference runs 7:30 am – 4 pm, Feb. 16 & 17. Individual tickets are $399 or stay in your bubble with a Team Table that seats six for $2,000.

Collect CEUS!

Good food, great times, and fantastic presentations aren’t the only thing we’re offering at the conference! When you attend, you’ll be able to collect eight or nine Certified Crop Advisor credits too! Don’t wait and miss out on this wonderful opportunity for the southern Alberta agriculture community!
