FEATURED SPEAKERS

Andrew Kippen & Callum Lawrence
North Valley Precision Planting

Andrew Kippen and Callum Lawrence join us from Carman-based North Valley Precision Planting, Manitoba’s newest Premier Precision Planting dealer. North Valley Precision Planting was founded to address a gap in the Western Canadian marketplace. The importance of accurate seeding and planting operations, from singulation to down pressure to the impact of speed, has never been more important, especially with the shorter growing season in Western Canada. Farmers in the Red River Valley now have access to the combined benefits of market-leading planting technology with local service, support, and knowledge.

Peter Johnson
RealAgriculture

For those who consume any kind of agricultural media, Peter “Wheat Pete” Johnson should need no introduction. Peter is now the resident agronomist at RealAgriculture after a 30-year career as an extension specialist at OMAFRA in Ontario. His enthusiasm and energy in sharing his deep agricultural knowledge make him a riveting speaker who is well-known to national radio listeners, social media users, and anyone else paying attention to the farming world in Canada.
