Ag Days 2025 is in the books!

Manitoba Ag Days was buzzing with excitement! Attendees, exhibitors, and speakers had an incredible week of learning, networking, and showcasing the people, products, and opportunities that are Produced on the Prairies. The Keystone Centre was alive with energy as we connected, made deals, and explored new opportunities. This year’s event had an energetic atmosphere throughout all three days!

Even though the show floor closed at 5pm, 50/50 ticket sales are still going strong and will continue until Friday, January 24 at 9am. Sales have already surpassed last year’s total, and all proceeds benefit community projects and agricultural education grants and scholarships through our Ag Days Gives Back Fund. You can purchase your tickets online at agdays.com/buy5050 (LGCA 4206-RF-44642). The winner will be drawn on Friday, January 24th at 9:00 AM via Facebook Live.

“Manitoba Ag Days is a tradition like no other, where the best in the field come together to experience the greatness that is the agriculture industry. We are thrilled with the success of the 2025 show!” exclaimed Manitoba Ag Days General Manager, Kristen Phillips.

The participants in the Innovation Showcase were extremely grateful for the opportunity, as it highlighted the latest and most innovative products and services in agriculture, offering excellent visibility for the companies involved. “It’s crucial for companies to showcase new products and for entrepreneurs to present their innovations to potential customers,” said Mike Cousins, Chair of the Manitoba Ag Days Innovation Showcase Committee.

Our varied lineup of speakers offered something for everyone, and the sessions were well attended! “Farmers understand that ongoing education is crucial for making the best management decisions,” said Hannah Minshull, Program Committee Chair. “While there are factors beyond our control, like the weather and markets, staying current on the things we can control is the key—and that’s the valuable learning that takes place at Manitoba Ag Days.”

On behalf of the board of directors and management team, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our loyal exhibitors, generous sponsors, incredible volunteers, the Keystone Centre staff, and the city of Brandon for helping make this event such a tremendous success. It was wonderful to come together and celebrate everything agriculture has to offer!

Planning is already underway for the 49th Manitoba Ag Days! Be sure to mark your calendars for Tuesday, January 20 through Thursday, January 22, 2026. In the meantime, you can stay connected with us on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok @mbagdays, and catch full-length speaker sessions on YouTube.
