In this day and age....

Why can't these speakers at cropshere be put an a subscription to watch at home?

This driving to get to a show in minus 30 seems a little tupid....when it could be done in the comfort of home...

We have tractors that can drive themselves on a field for mile long stretches but still need to be there in person to listen to a person give a motivational talk..

Then you listen to the guy from FCC talk on the radio about the three disruptors impacting agriculture...1.Climate change...2. Trade agreements 3. automation

And yet we can't do information meetings online..

And it doesn't matter if its cropshere or agronomy winter meetings all over the province...

Most could be done on a screen...

I wouldn't waste my time listening to those people !

Right... but the agronomy presentations in locations all over the province could be on a screen instead of wasting time on the road...

Cropshere- $275 registration?

[Herc]

Wonder who the hosts/sponsors are for this event?

[bucket]

Yes $ 275.00 registration fee !

sask pulse, sask canola, sask oats, sask flax, sask wheat partnered as hosts to offer growers this event to attend !

Using checkoff money to make you pay to listen. ...brilliant hey...nor one will say how it is on the farm....just a motivational talk to want you to do it again....

Must be because we are in the middle of a climate crisis, that everyone takes seriously. At least judging by the actions of the folks travelling to the climate forums instead of using Skype.

Cropshere- $275 registration?

There is your answer. Alot fewer $275 registration fees if you can get it online.

How can the suppliers gain market info if their customers stay home?

[bucket]

Just think if they could charge 50-100 dollars for the interactive event and a guy could type in questions interactively...

They might actually have more participation and more money...

I would gladly give up driving to spend an hour watching it on my computer and typing in questions as the speaker talks ....

It might give way to more discussion....like here...in a compacted way...

Bucket they don't want you asking questions from home !

anymore than they want you there in person asking questions , hence the $275 cover charge
