Lawrence Warweruk, Owner, Farmery Estate Brewery @farmerybrewery

Lawrence, one of the brothers and owner of Farmery Estate Brewery will share his back-story (how they went from the farm to the city and back to the farm), disruption due to Covid (closures, self isolation and the need for hand sanitizer) and how Farmery is in the best position to benefit from the shift to supporting local more than ever.  At Farmery, they’re growing it from the ground up, something any Farmer can relate to. Farmery Estate Brewery is as local as it gets!

Josh Linville, President, StoneX Financial Inc. FMC Division @JLinvilleFert

Josh will be giving a NPK Fertilizer Outlook.  He will look at trends nationally, internationally and from a world perspective. This is a session you are not going to want to miss as Josh has been very consistent in his messaging this past year.

Craig Klemmer, Principal Agricultural Economist, FCC @CraigKlemmer

Global economies continue to recover and demand for commodities is strong creating opportunities for Canada and the agriculture sector. Conversely, supply chain disruptions, market access, and lower production are creating challenges for the sector. How will this impact inflation, interest rates, and the Canadian dollar? What opportunities does this present for Canadian and Manitoba agriculture in 2022 and what trends should you continue to monitor?

Sue Clayton, Executive Director, Ag In The Classroom – Manitoba

Jon Montgomery, 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist / Host of The Amazing Race Canada @jonmonty

While Jon always wanted to be a Canadian National Team athlete, he didn’t know which sport it would be in! Keeping his eyes wide open, living outside his comfort zone, trying new things and accepting the challenges that presented themselves enabled him to find his passion and his opportunity to realize his dreams.  While we must be realistic about the things in life we can’t change, there are always ways in which we can optimize ourselves and our situations through creative thinking and innovation. Unless you’re moving forward you’re getting left behind! Jon’s story will inspire others to go after what they are looking for, no matter how daunting a task it may seem.
