Each year we strive to bring in the most relevant, up to date, informational speakers possible to Manitoba Ag Days. This year is no exception: the program has been finalized for the 2026 show and the depth of knowledge in this list is profound!
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!! 
 7 IPM, 6 CM, 2.5 NM, 1.0 S&W and 17.0 PD.
