See what it takes to create the ultimate experience in a field where visitors get close to the action to discover all that’s great about Canadian agriculture.
S2 E1: To Store or to Sell?
This year at the farm show, uncertainty looms larger than usual. Uncertainty in weather, politics and markets creates the ultimate question: should farmers sell or store the crop they have worked so hard to grow? With so much riding on a single season, connecting with experts at the farm show for options, forecasts and market signals helps them feel less alone with their business decisions.

S2 E4: Smooth Operators
You can’t have a farm without your operators. The same holds true for a farm show. Ag in Motion runs smoothly thanks to operators who help the 550+ exhibitors set up and tear down, plus shuttle visitors all over the farm show. The smoothest operators will win the challenge of the day, but the unique experience of being part of the operator's team at this Saskatchewan farm show has the power to win the hearts of those looking for a future life on the Prairies.
