As the weather slowly starts to get nicer and planting season approaches, there will be farm shows sprouting up all over for farmers and other agriculture professionals to network and get a first look at the latest innovations and technology.

From Wednesday, March 4 to Friday, March 6, London, Ontario’s Western Fair District will play host to the 77th London Farm Show, the largest indoor spring farm show in Eastern Canada.

The show will feature over 360 exhibitors including AGCO, Crop Quest, John Deere, Monsanto and Pickseed Canada. Farms.com will have their very own booth in the lobby of the Agriplex Pavilion and visitors can check out the Ag Buyer's Guide at booth 121D in the Progress Building.

The London Farm Show will also feature a speaker series including:

Andrew Campbell
Combining farming with social media, Andrew uses the Twitter hashtag #Farm365 to invite the public into his daily operations at his farm, Bellson Farms where he produces milk and grows corn, soybeans, wheat and hay. His communications company, FreshAirMedia, helps consumers get informed about agriculture and farm practices. Find Andrew on Twitter @FreshAirFarmer.

Moe Agostino
Farms.com’s own Moe Agostino, Chief Managing Commodity Strategist with the risk management team, will bring his over 30 years of experience to the London Farm Show. His areas of expertise include feed, grain energy/inputs and livestock industries. He’s also the author of Moe’s Market Minute and since 2012 has performed three crop tours.

New for the 2015 edition of the farm show will be a dairy pavilion showcasing the newest products for the dairy industry.
