We could not put on such a world class speaking event if it were not for our partnerships with FCC, MNP, Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Canola Growers Association, Manitoba Crop Alliance and the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers Association and of course the presenters themselves. We thank you for partnering with us for the 2026 Show!
CCA's make sure you plan your day so you can take in these sessions! We have applied for 33.5 Credits!!

Kristen MacMillan, Research Agronomist
Kristen MacMillan has been in the field with soybeans and pulse crops for over a decade, through research plots and farm fields.
After obtaining an agriculture diploma, B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Plant Science from the University of Manitoba, she joined the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers association where she played a pivotal role in developing the organization’s first research and extension strategy.
Kristen then took the opportunity to come back to the U of M through the inaugural Agronomist-in-Residence program in 2017.
Outside of research and education, Kristen practices what she preaches growing soybeans and peas, among other crops and cattle, with her husband and their young family on the family farm at Marquette, MB.
