London Farm Show returns to Western Fair District

Thousands of people are expected to attend the annual London Farm Show at the Western Fair District over the next three days.

The event gets underway Wednesday morning and runs until Friday afternoon at the Metroland Media Agriplex and Progress Building. Visitors will be able to take in the latest in agriculture technology and hear from a number of guest speakers.

“We are preparing over 300,000 square feet of exhibitor space with over 370 exhibitors this year,” said London Farm Show manager Cheron Chamberlain. “The equipment is getting larger, the implements are getting larger, and the tractors are getting larger. There’s always new dump trailers, manure spreaders, but [the show will also showcase] the chemical and seed aspect of the industry because you know it all starts from that field into that seed, and then all the way through into crop production.”
