A small-scale, safely-guided, in-person tour will take place July 20, 21, 22 and 23 at Discovery Farm Langham as a true “VIP experience” for farmers.
The Discovery Farm VIP Experience is designed to allow farmers to take in one full day of networking, prizes and exclusive programming while enjoying fun, interactive stations with industry partners. As an added bonus, the day will conclude with a happy hour featuring local beverages and musical entertainment from award-winning artist Doc Walker.
“This event is going to be a highlight for many that will create an atmosphere of learning and connecting with colleagues – something we’ve all been looking forward to this past year,” said Kaitlyn Kitzan, Business Development & Operations Specialist at Discovery Farm. “We had a very successful VIP Experience in June and we are so excited to once again bring the best agricultural knowledge to Saskatchewan farmers with the help of our station partners.”
Farmers who attend will be provided a golf cart to tour throughout the Discovery Farm site to individual stations according to an itinerary. Each station visit will deliver learning opportunities about practical solutions to ag challenges including:
