Farm Show Pre-Show Guide
PROMOTIONAL SUPPLEMENT
Farm Show Pre-Show Guide 2016
Welcome from the
President
I
had the opportunity to begin my career working with the
Ontario 4-H and Junior Farmer programs. Like many of you
reading this, 4-H not only impacted me as a member in my
childhood but also continues to have a lasting impact on my
approach to the many things I do. While organizing leadership
camps and programming during that job, my colleagues and
I were reminded time after time that there really is nothing
more impactful than when someone is taught a new concept
with “Learn To Do By Doing” in mind. The team at Canada’s
Outdoor Farm Show uses this philosophy to feature the show
as a huge opportunity to learn about the technology and
changes in agriculture.
After 23 years of practice, our exhibitors never cease to
amaze me with their creativity and ability to showcase their
products in world-class interactive exhibits. The line-up of
demonstrations and ride’n’drives is more extensive than ever.
We are more interactive than ever. We are facilitating “Learn
To Do By Doing” for farmers more than ever.
Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show is one of the few farm shows
in North America that has the ability to host ride’n’drives
for farmers to really get behind the wheel of new equipment
and experience the technology from the driver’s seat. This
September, our exhibitors are offering the chance for farmers
to experience ride’n’drives like:
-towering self-propelled sprayer ride’n’drives
-nimble 60 to 85 HP sized loader tractor ride’n’drives
-on-road Ram pick-up truck ride’n’drives
-on-road Toyota Tundra pick-up truck ride’n’drives
-brand new Kubota M-7 Series tractor ride’n’drives
On nearly each side of the Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show
grounds farmers can find an interactive ride’n’drive to
participate in. It’s something we are very proud and
appreciative of. These kinds of interactive exhibits at farm
shows are no small feat for companies to organize. We are
grateful to the dozens of hardworking people from each
participating company who are putting in so much care to make
sure equipment is delivered, signs are printed, gas tanks are
filled, an eye on safety and so much more.
I hope that you enjoy reading about the ride’n’drives as well
as the many other interactive activities planned for Canada’s
Outdoor Farm Show this year. Our exhibitors with expertise
in crops, livestock, financial services, construction as well
as other goods and services are also raising the bar in their
displays for this September. We are confident that you and
your family will not want to miss this year’s offering.
I also want to acknowledge the 4-H graduates across Canada
that continue to give much back to keep the 4-H program
evolving with the agriculture industry. Canada’s Outdoor Farm
Show is pleased to be supporting the updating of the “4-H
Ontario Farm Machinery - Harvesting Project” that is to be
released at the 2017 farm show.
Enjoy this special preview of Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show
in Better Farming and we look forward to welcoming you to
Woodstock in a few short weeks.
Sincerely,
Doug Wagner
President
