Ottawa Valley Farm Show highlights latest technology and techniques in Canadian farming

The Ottawa Valley Farm Show, a cornerstone event for the agricultural industry, not only celebrates the achievements of local farmers but also showcases the latest agricultural products and technologies essential for sustaining industry growth.

Caitlin Allen, a recent graduate of McGill's Farm Management and Technology Program, aspires to one day own a dairy farm, but knows that passion and hard work are just part of the puzzle. Innovation is crucial.

"We have a lot of increased regulations with the environment and with the livestock as well," she told CTV News. "Automation for sure will help the production, help increase yields, but as well as reduce the workload."

The farming industry is under rapid change with pressure of economic instability, war, and a labour shortage. From March 12–14, experts gathered at the EY Centre to exchange insights and explore the latest advancements in farming techniques and equipment.
