Farm Outlook 2023 is approaching fast, and the Dauphin Ag Society has been putting in the work to make sure it's a successful event.

There's a day full of informative presentations planned for the Aspen Lodge next Thursday, March 9th. Registration and coffee start at 8:30, and the presentations get underway at 9.

Farm Outlook committee co-chair Chad Sahulka says a lot of planning goes into making sure the event is bringing new, fresh ideas to farmers in the area.

"We tried not to make it so much similar as years past. We're trying to get new and bright shiny things out there for the ag industry in our local area."

The keynote speaker at this year's event is Mike Jubinville of MarketFarms who will be talking about Grain Buying and Selling Decisions. There will also be talks about the Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program by Roberta Galbraith, and the Economic Situation in the Industry by FCC's Sarah Dobson.

There's also a talk about rural crime, which Sahulka thinks people will be really interested in.

"We're gonna have someone come in from the local RCMP detachment to come speak about rural crime, and what can be done to slow the trend of crime in the area. So I think everyone will be very intrigued by what's going on in that presentation, and I really look forward to it."

Registration is just $20, and you can get more information by emailing dauphinagsociety@hotmail.com, or by calling (204)639-4428.
