In an increasingly complex and global marketplace, farm managers must be able to access the information, resources and tools to continue to develop their farm business management skills to compete and succeed.

The Excellence Conference is different from other agricultural events in that it:

  • focuses specifically on addressing key farm business management principles using a systematic approach to business management
  • welcomes farmers across regions and production sectors to exchange and gain insight into beneficial management practices
  • welcomes diverse stakeholders, providing learning to those who are positioned to provide services to farmers (government, advisors, academia, organizations, etc.)

The conference will be a 3-day learning event via plenary, concurrent sessions, discussion panels, debate, and a farm/industry tour. The event will provide an opportunity for sharing insights, transferring knowledge and networking among the delegates. Delegates are expected to come from farms, agricultural businesses, government, industry associations, and private industry (i.e. banks, suppliers, etc.).

The Prairieland Youth Leadership Conference was held over the weekend in Saskatoon. The event attracted nearly 40 4-H members from across the province. As the title suggests, the focus is on developing leadership skills. Before coming to Saskatoon, each participant was asked to interview someone who they viewed as a leader in their community. They also produced a video or wrote an article about that leader. "Business owners who are offering their services to their community members. We had politicians, mayors, coaches and everybody under the sun that these members looked at as role models and people that they can learn something from." said Kody Farrow, the Chair of the Prairieland Youth Leadership Committee. Evan Shout is the President and CEO at Hebert Group and is the co-host of the popular "The Truth About Ag Podcast." He worked with the participants on Saturday and was the guest speaker at the Banquet Sunday. He says the 4-H'ers are off to a great start when it comes to leaders
