This week, we'll be joining the 700 exhibitors and 40,000 attendees in Regina for the annual Canada's Farm Progress Show. This event takes place at Evraz Place from June 21 to 23, and has a massive trade show space to explore.
If you're planning on making the trip in to see what Farm Progress has to offer, here are three spots we think will be worth checking out.
The Man Van
Lot B (outside Canada Centre)
Once again, CCGA is teaming up with the Prostate Cancer Centre to bring the Man Van to Farm Progress Show. This mobile Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood testing clinic will be on-site, providing free tests for men over 40 and increasing awareness of early prostate cancer detection.
In Canada, one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, but the disease is very preventable if caught early on. Dropping by the Man Van is well worth your time — a 5-minute stop could save your life!
For more on the Man Van's two appearances at Saskatchewan farm shows this summer, read last week's press release.
Clinic Hours
June 21-23
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
CASA BeGrainSafe Mobile Unit
Hall 12
Safety on the farm is always an important issue, and the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) is helping this through their BeGrainSafe program, which CCGA supports.
The heart of this program is a mobile demonstration unit that will be set up at Farm Progress Show. During regular demos, farmers can see how the unit assists in grain entrapment emergencies.

CCGA Booth
Hall 9A
Of course, if you have any questions about your cash advance, or policy issues on the farm, we'll have helpful staff available at Farm Progress Show. You can visit our booth in Hall 9A.
