Manitoba Ag Ex Returns To Brandon

The Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba is bringing Manitoba Ag Ex back to the Keystone Centre in Brandon starting Wednesday.

"It's been a long time since we've had an event. Everybody is excited to come because it's been a long time since people have gotten together," said Dallas Johnston, co-chair of the Manitoba Ag Ex committee. "In the cattle business, you're always looking forward to showcasing what you're raising at home and hopefully entice some other breeders to get interested in your program and buy a female or a bull from you in the future."

Manitoba Ag Ex is the largest all-breeds cattle show in Manitoba.

Johnston says this year they are down to about 270 head of cattle, which he says is to be expected given the current situation. He adds this will be the first agriculture related event hosted by the Provincial Ex since the pandemic started.

Manitoba Ag Ex is entirely focused on the cattle industry, and attendees are all part of the agricultural industry.

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.
