The SouthWest Agricultural Conference returns to the University of Guelph—Ridgetown Campus on January 6 & 7, 2026, delivering two days of fresh, Ontario-tested insights to power your 2026 season. Build your playbook across agronomy, soils, weed and disease management, drainage, fertility economics, and on-farm tech—plus the popular tradeshow and Tuesday’s Taste Ontario reception.
This year’s program blends marquee keynotes with deep-dive breakouts. Terry O’Reilly (Jan 6) and Dr. Jody Carrington (Jan 7) anchor the agenda, surrounded by sessions on bin-busting soybeans, fertilizer philosophies, resilient soils, green-on-green spraying, drone application realities, and crowd favorites like Agronomy Answers and Production Pundits. Every in-person pass includes access to the livestreamed and recorded sessions so you can rewatch through March 31, 2026.
New for 2026, don’t miss the hands-on Knowing Sprayers workshops running both days in the Engineering Building—one focused on Case IH and one on John Deere—for a practical walk-through of options and opportunities to get the most from your sprayer. Pre-registration is required for these workshops.
No Refunds.
All conference sessions are available until March 31st, 2025.
If an emergency arises access will be provided for the Livestreamed sessions on January 7th & 8th, 2025.
