London Farm Show features new tech

Technology will be a big focus at the 81st edition of the London Farm Show.

And on Wednesday, the new Case IH 2020 AFS Connect Magnum will be showcased at 11 a.m. at the Case booth.

The high-powered tractor is purpose-built for digital interactivity, and wirelessly sends and receives farm, fleet, and agronomic data safely.

Added connectivity takes form with Remote display viewing for off-site viewing of the cab, a Remote service tool for maintenance requests, and Firmware over the air (FOTA) for wireless updates.

This will be the first time that the AFS Connect 2020 Magnum series is unveiled in Canada and is said to be the manufacturer's largest technology launch in 10 years.

The London Farm Show is the largest indoor Farm Show in Eastern Canada, which showcases the latest in industry trends and agricultural technology, and this year's slogan is ‘Come Grow With Us’.

Also on opening day, the Corteva Conversations Lounge will feature discussions between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. from Corteva AgriscienceTM, Agriculture Division of DowDuPont and Pioneer. The will centre around the new Enlist E3TM soybeans, along with other topics such as corn quality management, digital agronomy, residue management, cover crops and more.

HFL Fabricating will be showcasing their new Biomass Builder row unit for side dress/ interseeding in corn, at their booth number 706N at the show.

The Farm Show will have more than 370 exhibitors and Ontario Agriculture Minister Ernie Hardeman is expected to be at the show as well.
