From Simulators to Success Stories:

From July 15–17, 2025, AMC was proud to take part in Ag in Motion in Langham, Saskatchewan – Western Canada’s largest outdoor farm expo. This year’s event drew thousands of attendees from across the Prairies and beyond, eager to explore the latest innovations, connect with industry leaders, and discover new opportunities in the agricultural sector.

As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting careers in ag, AMC brought the Careers in Ag Mobile Skills Lab to the show grounds. Throughout the three days, the lab welcomed students, job seekers, and curious visitors of all ages to step inside and explore the diverse career pathways the agricultural manufacturing and supply chain industry has to offer.

The Mobile Skills Lab was a true hands-on experience. Visitors had the chance to engage directly with interactive tools and simulators that provided a taste of real-world skills used in today’s agriculture sector. We were thrilled to partner with several industry organizations who joined us on-site to make the experience even richer.

CLAAS attracted crowds with their state-of-the-art combine simulator, giving attendees the chance to virtually operate one of the most 14 advanced pieces of harvesting equipment on the market. For many, it was their first time behind the controls of a combine, and the realistic simulation offered a fun yet educational challenge.

The CWB Foundation brought their virtual welding simulator, drawing in both young and experienced participants eager to test their steady hands and precision. This interactive station showcased how welding plays a vital role in agricultural manufacturing, from equipment repair to fabrication of new machinery.

Adding to the lineup, the Regina Work Prep Centre managed the virtual excavating simulator, which allowed participants to try their hand at operating heavy equipment in a safe, immersive environment. This activity underscored the importance of skilled trades in building and maintaining the infrastructure that supports modern agriculture.

We were also joined by DLL Financial Group, whose team members shared personal stories about how they found their way into fulfilling careers in agriculture. Their conversations inspired visitors to see the industry not only as a technical and mechanical space, but also as one that offers diverse opportunities in finance, business development, and client relations.

The Careers in Ag Mobile Skills Lab’s presence at Ag in Motion was about more than just showcasing equipment or technology – it was about sparking curiosity and planting seeds for the future workforce. By giving visitors the opportunity to try new skills, speak directly with industry professionals, and learn about career paths they may never have considered, AMC continues to help bridge the gap between employers and the next generation of agricultural talent.

As the agricultural sector evolves, attracting and retaining skilled workers is more important than ever. Events like Ag in Motion give AMC and our partners the perfect platform to connect with people where they are, demonstrate the exciting scope of careers in ag, and highlight how innovation and opportunity go hand in hand in this essential industry.

We extend our thanks to CLAAS, the CWB Foundation, Regina Work Prep Centre, and DLL Financial Group for joining us in Langham. Together, we showcased the vibrant future of agriculture – and we can’t wait to see where these conversations lead.
