AgSmart: Growing into the Future

AgSmart 2022 welcomed over 2,880 people to the two-day educational expo focused on agriculture technology and data across the sector – how to gather it and how to use it to enhance productivity and profits.

“AgSmart 2022 was a huge success,” comments Patrick Machacek, Vice President, Development & Strategy, Olds College of Agriculture & Technology. “AgSmart is designed to provide an opportunity for producers and the ag industry to come together to learn, share, network and engage around ag technology, data and practices. The event also provides producers a chance to experience the Olds College Smart Farm, and to see and learn about the many different applied research projects that are taking place at the College.”

The expo featured 50 educational sessions from industry experts, welcomed 110 exhibitors and had several hands-on agriculture technology demonstrations — including OneCup AI’s BETSY livestock monitoring system, precision spraying from Rocky Mountain Equipment, and Ag Business’ soil sampling and drones.

“As a producer, I find value in attending an expo like AgSmart,” says Kevin Bender, producer and member of AgSmart Industry Advisory Committee. “It is great to see the tech in action and learn from the experts on such a wide range of topics.”

AgSmart is already well into planning for 2023. The outdoor educational expo will continue to evolve with new advancements being planned for next year’s event.

Based on feedback from attendees and stakeholders, the dates for AgSmart 2023 have shifted to Aug. 1 and 2 prior to the August long weekend. Another exciting update is that the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC) will hold their annual FCDC Field Day in conjunction with AgSmart on Aug. 2 at Olds College campus.
