Manitoba Ag Ex Makes Successful Return To Brandon

After taking a year off due to COVID, Manitoba Ag Ex returned to the Keystone Centre in Brandon last week.

The event wrapped up on Saturday.

Co-Chair Dallas Johnston says they were happy to have cattle back in the barns, adding the mood amongst exhibitors was also positive.

"Extremely happy to be back in the barns visiting with people that they haven't seen in a while, and it was like getting back in the routine of showing cattle and promoting your product. Everybody was happy to see everybody and it was a fun time."

Johnston expects many of the cattle that won in Brandon will be in contention at Agribition in Regina coming up later this month. He adds a highlight for him was the junior event that was held on Saturday, with about 60 kids participating. 

Cattle numbers and attendance were down this year, but that was something organizers were expecting.

Manitoba Ag Ex is the province's largest all breeds cattle show.

Next up for the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba is the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, which is scheduled to take place in March 2022.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
