Tackling Corn Stalk Field Demonstration Participants

The Tackling Corn Stalks Field Demonstration at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show will demonstrate various pieces of tillage equipment and techniques to achieve a 50 per cent fall ground cover. This demo will feature tillage equipment from different manufacturers displaying how they manage corn stalks. The equipment brands and tillage techniques will be discussed and displayed in the field for farmers to understand which piece of equipment will work best on their farm. The Tackling Corn Stalks Demonstration will take place daily at 12:30 p.m. in the Southwest Demo Field during COFS.
