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."
