Manitoba Ag Days is a premier agricultural trade show with success attributed to keeping the show current, relevant and informative.

Exhibitors displaying new technology, innovations or products should be recognized for their contributions to our industry.  Manitoba Ag Days would like to promote and feature these advancements as enhancements to our show and ultimately the producers who use them on their farming operations. We invite our exhibitors to launch their new innovations at Canada’s Largest Indoor Farm Show.  

In order to qualify for this feature the new innovation must be approved by Manitoba Ag Days Innovation Committee. To participate exhibitors will need to check the appropriate area on the exhibitor entry form during registration and submit their payment by the payment deadline. A description and picture of the innovation must accompany the entry form. To qualify the product must be unique and new to the Manitoba market. A priority will be placed on innovations that are unique or significantly different from products that are currently available in the marketplace. We will only be accepting a maximum of 36 entries into the Innovation Program in 2026.  Manitoba Ag Days will make the final determination as to which products qualify for the Innovation Showcase Feature. 

There will be 7 categories in our Innovation Showcase.  

Our Innovation Showcase is co presented by The Western Producer and The Manitoba Co-operator along with Manitoba Ag Days.  We would like to recognize the 7 Glacier FarmMedia brands that sponsor each of our categories.
