Western Canada’s largest outdoor agricultural expo, Ag in Motion 2025, wrapped up another successful year, drawing in over 30,000 visitors and more than 620 exhibitors from across Canada and around the world. Held from July 15 to 17 near Langham, Saskatchewan, the event proved once again why it has become a must-attend showcase for farmers, ag-tech companies, researchers, and international buyers.
The three-day event wasn’t just about machinery and products it was a full-scale celebration of modern farming, highlighting everything from cutting-edge technologies and sustainability solutions to family traditions and the next generation of producers. According to show director Rob O’Connor, the focus this year was on maintaining agriculture’s deep family roots while also embracing the innovations that will carry the industry into the future.
One of the standout features of Ag in Motion is that it remains the only outdoor farm expo in Canada where equipment is demonstrated in the field, on real cropland. Visitors had the rare opportunity to see tractors, seeders, sprayers, harvesters, and precision tools in action during live Ride & Drive demos. These hands-on experiences gave farmers the chance to assess machinery performance in real conditions something no showroom or catalogue can replicate.
The show also hosted its annual Innovation Awards, recognizing some of the most promising advancements in agricultural technology and sustainability. Winners included AI-driven insurance tools, drone-charging platforms, improved seedbed preparation machinery, and biostimulant products aimed at boosting soil health and crop resilience. These innovations reflect the growing role of data, automation, and biological science in shaping the next era of agriculture.
Ag in Motion also played an important role on the international trade front. Through a coordinated effort by the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP), the show welcomed over 40 trade delegates from more than 10 countries including India, Poland, Mongolia, and the UAE. These buyers participated in networking sessions and business-to-business meetings, using the event to explore export opportunities and connect with Canadian agri-tech companies. An International Trade and Investment Lounge provided a hub for discussion, with support from the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service and Export Development Canada.
Young farmers and families were front and center this year as well. The inaugural Junior Cattle Show drew enthusiastic participation from youth aged 6 to 21, showcasing the energy and talent of the next generation of producers. Educational booths and hands-on activities kept children engaged, while expert seminars provided valuable insights for adult producers on everything from crop management to livestock biosecurity.
For many, what made Ag in Motion truly special was the atmosphere equal parts professional showcase and community gathering. Farmers brought their children, students came to explore future careers, and innovators from across the globe shared ideas on how to feed a growing planet more efficiently and sustainably.
In the end, Ag in Motion 2025 wasn’t just an exhibition it was a living reflection of where agriculture is headed. It brought together tradition and technology, the local and the global, the experienced and the new. And in doing so, it reminded everyone that farming is not just an industry it’s a way of life that continues to adapt, evolve, and inspire.
