Manitoba Ag Days Planning To Go Ahead In 2022

Aug 26, 2021

As it stands right now, the 2022 edition of Manitoba Ag Days is planning to go ahead at Brandon's Keystone Centre.

The event is scheduled to be held January 18th to the 20th.

General Manager Kristen Phillips has some advice for exhibitors.

"Registration will open September 1 and run until September 17, but we are encouraging everyone to register early this year," she said. "Because we're limited by space, we may have to make to tough decisions, so all registrations will be time stamped this year. The first come first serve basis will be in play."

Phillips says Ag Days will be scaled down somewhat in 2022 due to health restrictions. She notes they will only have one speaker theatre compared to usual two. The Innovation Showcase is also back on for 2022.

Organizers are working with Manitoba Health.

More details will follow in the weeks ahead.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
