Student-led Farm 4.0 to celebrate the future of ag tech
The future of agricultural technology will be on display at Lakeland’s second annual Farm 4.0 event at
the Vermilion Regional Centre. Presented on April 4 by students in the bachelor of agriculture technology (BAgTech)
program, the event is a conference, tradeshow, and networking opportunity bringing together students, community,
and industry.
“Our collective enthusiasm drives our commitment to showcasing cutting-edge advancements in the agriculture
industry,” says Kyle Hafner, Class of 2025 in the BAgTech program, and exhibition team member for Farm 4.0 “Through
our hard work and dedication, we aim to create an engaging platform that not only introduces innovative technologies
but also fosters valuable networking opportunities. Embracing the belief that new technology is the cornerstone of
farming’s future, we look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals and industry experts to collectively propel
the agricultural landscape into a new era.”
Farm 4.0 will feature a tradeshow, technology demonstrations, farm tours, keynote speakers and presentations. The
graduating class of 2024 BAgTech students will present their practicum reports, highlighting their invaluable
experiences and insights gained.
