General Information

What’s the secret to success for this popular venue? No secret. Just a proven track record for staying on top of economic shifts, changing demographics, emerging issues and advances in technology in a fast-moving industry. Successful farms are cuttingedge. So are successful farm shows.

The country’s largest dry land farm technology show annually attracts 40,000 visitors from around the globe. It’s the place to be for opportunity, innovation and excitement. This year, organizers look forward to new facilities and programming that add even more value for stakeholders, from exhibitors and sponsors to the visiting public.

New in 2010 is the Co-operator’s Centre, providing 650,000 square feet of easy-to-access, connected indoor display space within the show’s 1.6 million square foot layout. It opens a whole new vista of possibility for the WCFPS and for the exhibitors and sponsors that call it home for three days in June.

Perennial favourite programs will include the Ride and Drive Test Area, New Inventions Showcase and the Antique Truck and Tractor

Showcase. In addition, Livestock Production Management, Modern Lifestyles Showcase, entertainment and educational seminars are all on offer and promise to be better than ever.

Rapidly gaining momentum in 2010 is the Renewable Energy Centre, featuring alternative energy options and energy-saving products. Solar, wind and geothermal energy alternatives will be on display, along with ethanol and bio-diesel resource options and ideas. Farmers who are thinking “green” in a whole new way will find everything they need at the Renewable Energy Centre, Co-operator’s Centre, Arena 3.

The International Buyers Program is another feature that sets the WCFPS apart from other shows of its kind. International guests and buyer

delegations from over 40 countries are matched with the products, services and suppliers that they need. The country’s leading manufacturers can meet international customers and the country’s top farmers, face-to-face, in one marketplace. It’s just one more reason to consider this show the best in the country.

It’s the perfect blend of tried and true, fresh and new, local and international and everyone in between. No wonder it’s recognized as “Canada’s National Farm Show.”
