    New and improved Farm Progress show in Regina.

    Today is day one of the new and improved (they say) farm progress show.

    It runs Tuesday till Thursday on the exhibition grounds.

    You park where the equipment use to sit.

    I grew up going to this show I remember seeing all the new stuff build in western canada and the northern USA.

    Big bud the big versatile.Steiger. But then the city of Regina got greedy and fu ked it up. Making exhibitors pay to have equipment escorted in at 5 am with huge costs. Well they ducked it up.

    Now ag in motion wins the big prize.

    I’ll give it a try since the wind is stupid again and it’s not a spraying day.

    Will post more later.

    There is alot of room between the #1 highway and the bypass to the south of Regina. Move it out of where it is.

        Usually rains that week.

        And city folk wont drive 5 minutes out of town.

        For a province with a shit ton of land, we sure make some dumb development decisions.

          Sure would like it if you could post picture or better yet running video. Have a great day Saskfarmer. Wish I could be there. But still have Pic Line in my chest.


          BTW - If they are selling the socialist rag(WP) there you can tell them from us, no more rag on our farm. Not ta One!

            If the new and improved farm show actually wanted to be better they wouldn’t be trying to run it in the middle of spraying season. Ag in motion is in much better timed and has my support.

              No longer a rep for a company but from past experience Farm Progress was brutal to deal with, I despise that show and for that reason you couldn't pay me to go there. Ag In Motion I will definitely check out.

                I'll watch for the update but I don't expect much. Its been a long time since I went to Farm Progress and it was a pale imitation of its former self even then. Can't imagine what it has descended to now. Too many slice'n dice sales droids and not enough real equipment.

                        crops are behind normal and we have lots of in crop spraying to do when its fit but I have always liked getting off the farm to the FPS after seeding. I am unhappy that is a indoor show only now in "JUNE but I guess we have ag in motion next month to look forward to.

                          Never understood the Regina show ….. ever , right in the midst of spraying season .
                          Like it was organized by a bunch of non farmers 🤷*♂️. Been there once , in 30 years . But it proves the ignorance of the ag industry somewhat, oblivious to real life

                              The show is now more like a trade show with min equipment etc. They had it all back in the day it was like a farmer's version of an exhibition. But then Regina also ****ed up the Exhibition with pemican Pete when they sent him packing and his buffalo.

                              I went, a lot from home also went because it rained. Next year maybe one day because we live close but not three.

                              Some of these CEOs who run these venues have No clue.
