Feed barley prices in Europe are matching or surpassing milling wheat, an unusual trend driven by strong export demand and tight supply.

Ag in Motion Show Director Rob O’Connor accepted the award during a trip to the National Capital Region.

“I was proud to accept the award on behalf of everyone who has helped shape Ag in Motion into an event that brings the agriculture community together,” O’Connor said via a Friday written release.

“We are grateful for our collaboration with our community partners and the team at Tourism Saskatchewan, among others, who help put Ag in Motion on the map,” he continued. “Our local, national and international footprint gets stronger every year. There’s always something exciting and new to showcase at Ag in Motion.”

Ag in Motion returns July 21-23, 2026. For more information, check out the documentary series Welcome to the Farm Show, from the Western Producer.
