Join us for our annual Ag Forum being held on Thursday, November 13, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wetaskiwin Ag Society Hall. This free event includes a gourmet lunch prepared by Farm to Table Catering.

The Ag Forum brings together dynamic voices from across the industry to share practical advice, inspiring stories, and forward-thinking strategies.

Lowell Befus, ATB, will dive into the latest economic trends and common financing mistakes farmers can avoid to keep their operations strong. Shelby Loomis, Cornerstone Counselling Centre, will shine a light on the importance of mental health in agriculture. Kim Barkwell will explore how ALUS helps producers lead the way in sustainability and stewardship, turning challenges into opportunities for long-term success. Geoff Stewart will share the incredible journey of Righand Distillery, showing how innovation and diversification can create new paths for growth. Wrapping up the day, Annessa Good-Hassard will tackle one of the biggest questions in farming—Succession Planning—with real strategies for making the transition to the next generation smoother and more successful.

Together, these sessions promise to leave participants informed, inspired, and ready to take on the future of agriculture. Registration is required by November 6th.
