A popular farm show has gained the reputation of bringing all that’s new and novel in Prairie agriculture.

Ag in Motion located near Langham, Sask. had over 100 acres of displays during the July 16 to 18 event.

Show Director Rob O’Connor said exhibitors showed off the incredible innovations that are part of western Canadian agriculture.

“The weather was great, and our partners and exhibitors certainly delivered an outstanding experience for the thousands of visitors we had over the three days of the show,” he said.

For the first time in the show’s ten-year history, exhibitor participation moved over 600 with 607 exhibitors this year. O’Connor said attendance was on par with previous years at 30,805 visitors over three days.

The Ag in Motion Innovations Program also had tremendous participation with 37 companies competing for an award in five categories, more than double the number of participating companies in previous years, according to O’Connor.

“This growth tells me that the farm show is on point with delivering a unique experience for our farm audience,” he said. “It’s exciting for our team to see the positive feedback expressed throughout the show from our partners and farm attendees.”

The Ag in Motion Ride & Drives was expanded this year with three dedicated areas where farmers took featured equipment for a test drive.

O’Connor said farmers could choose from 17 different machines including compact loaders, skid steers, tractors and sprayers.

“Farmers want to see equipment working in the field, and the chance to take it for a spin is even better,” O’Connor said. “What’s unique about Ag in Motion is the ability to offer big wide-open spaces for large equipment to operate.”

Western Canada’s largest outdoor farm expo is drawing international interest as well. Ag in Motion saw over 230 delegates attend the show and an international reception, with guests from Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Ethiopia, South Africa, Germany, France, Pakistan, and the United States.

Ag in Motion returns July 15 to 17, 2025.
