Red Deer Agri-Trade Opens Wednesday

Exhibitors are battling the winter weather as they move equipment not only across the province, but the country as they try to get ready for the show which officially opens to the public on Wednesday. 

Show Manager David Fiddler says Agri-Trade is a popular event for producers with all aspect of the agriculture industry featured at the three day show. 

He says with the show taking place after harvest, it's the perfect time for farmers to take part as they start thinking about their cropping plans for the next growing season.

"Agri-Trade is a show that's focused on business. It's not a consumer trade show you don't get a lot of urban people that come to it. It's farmers coming to do business with equipment manufacturers, retailers and the technology and services that surround the business of agriculture."

If you assumed Nebraska was too hot and dry for white mold to be a problem in soybeans, think again.

This week we're featuring Galen Samuelson, a farmer and dealer from Wakefield, Nebraska, who knows all too well how devastating white mold can be.

"We don't have it consistently every year, but with our temperature and humidity, it can hurt us quite bad," Samuelson says. Looking for alternatives, he explains, "What I like about Heads Up is that it's non-harmful to the beneficial fungal colonies in the soil." Galen has been using Heads Up for several years now, after first hearing about it through a small ad in a regional newspaper. Watch below to hear about his journey.

When asked to write about Samuelson Seed, Galen said the following:

"Samuelson Seed is a 4th-generation, family-based company. It started with my grandfather, and I'm now starting to pass the torch to my son, Caleb."

"In the early 1990s, I started working with a company whose focus was on plant and soil health before those benefits were widely known. I've continued to keep plant and soil health the main focus in our farming operation decisions."
