New and improved Farm Progress show in Regina.

[fcr]

Isn't spraying season from April 1 till October 30 anyway

Agree I think the timing is actually good,

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

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!

Yikes!

Had to look that tube up.

Get better, Sdg.

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.

I guess the one good thing about ag days Brandon is not much spraying done when 30 below. And lots of new diesels running outside to look at when going in to see all the stuff. Hope they can make it work next January local welding shop guy put a lot of work into making stuff for show that didn't happen.

I really enjoyed the show, I think it great being inside. With the rain, it meant seeing a lot of friends, the main reason to attend these shows. I will support it, so close to home would hate to see it gone.
On a side note, REAL has put a refreshment stand in many of the buildings. So you don't have to walk to one main loud spot with a loud band playing to have a chat with a friend. But you can't take the refreshments from one building to another. (Sask Liquor laws)
Have to admit I was skeptical of the change to indoors, but I give it a 10/10

I've been twice in 57 years.
Same people who plan that likely write for the Seducer.

Dealing with various exhibition and fair societies throughout the western provinces I found Regina and Saskatoon to have an inability to help themselves and accommodate nor attract events with much zeal. You’d think for being the supposed two biggest venues in the province they’d have it all by the tail but not so much.

Saskatoon an Regina are too small and too remote to do it like big cities. They need to spend more time stacking events together.

Concerts or rider games during events. Mosaic stadium sits empty, why not a country concert during farm show. Or put it the week right before Canada day. Spraying usually done by then.
