Area X.O Farm Tour & Innovation Workshop
Thursday, August 13, 2026 9:00 am – 3:00 pmSee new farm tech in the field — and help shape it.
Spend a day at Area X.O seeing the latest ag tech in the field, walking the trials, and telling the people building it what would actually work on your farm. August 13, near Ottawa. Lunch included. Free to attend. Space is limited.
New tools are showing up on farms faster than ever — but do they hold up where it counts, in the field? On Thursday, August 13, join other farmers at Area X.O near Ottawa for a day of seeing technology in action, walking the trials, and — just as importantly — telling the people building it what you think.
This isn’t a sit-and-watch demo. We want your eyes, your questions, and your honest take on what would make these tools genuinely useful on your operation.
What you’ll get into
- Connect with researchers, farmers, and industry folks over lunch.
- See technologies like the Picketa Lens, autonomous tractors, and drones working in the field.
- Walk agronomic trials and talk through what they mean for your operation — with researchers and other farmers.
- Share your ideas on how these technologies could work better in the real world.
Bring your questions, your practical experience, and your honest feedback. This day is about getting technology out of the lab and into real conversations with the people who would actually use it.
