Showcasing agriculture innovation - that's the premise behind the Innovation Awards handed out before the start of this year's outdoor farm show Ag in Motion. There were 5 categories – crops, livestock, business solutions, agronomics and environmental sustainability

I had a chance to speak to 2 of the winners at Dennis Bulani the creator of the HedgeHog app that allows farmers to quickly hedge diesel fuel prices for up to two years in advance and Deans Scrivens with CropScan Ag with its on-combine grain analyzer, the winner in the agronomics category.

The Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada officially unveiled their mobile skills lab at Western Canada 's largest outdoor farm show.

The lab is designed to encourage people to consider a career and ag. I had a chance to talk to AMC president Donna Boyd about the mobile lab. She said it has been 3 years since they first started to notice the ag manufacturing industry was having challenges attracting new talent despite a boom period for the sector.
