Manitoba Ag Days Looking For Farmer Votes

Voting is now open for the Manitoba Ag Days Farmer's Choice Grand Prize Champion in the Innovation Showcase.
 
Kristen Phillips is the General Manager for Manitoba Ag Days.
 
"We really wanted to make sure farmers were involved without a live show, we wanted a way to pull them in," she said. "We decided to move forward with a Farmer's Choice Grand Prize, where the farmers get to vote for their Farmer's Choice Champion and ultimately the exhibitor will get $10,000."
 
There are seven finalists in the competition.
 
 
The winner will be announced January 25th.
 
A webinar showcasing each of the finalists is taking place January 14th.

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision


Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
