MELFORT, Sask. – One of Saskatchewan’s longest running agricultural shows opened today in Saskatoon, Sask.

Over 20,000 people are expected to attend Western Canadian Crop Production Show which features 240,000 square feet of show space with 300 exhibitors from across Western Canada, Ontario, and the United States.

The event features information on crop science and technology, new products and services for farmers as they make plans for spring seeding.

Prairieland Park Agriculture Manager Leigh Anne Hurlburt said after a COVID interruption it’s great to be back and celebrate the show’s 40th anniversary.

“The show started back in 1983 at the Jubilee building and now we’ve grown into our World Trade Centre. So, we’re excited to host exhibitors that have been here for 40 years and the new ones as well,” Hurlburt said.
