The magazine includes a feature on the future of ag industry plot tours and tradeshows as they take on a virtual format. BASF and ADAMA share their challenges and triumphs in integrating the in-person plot tour experience into online platforms. We also caught up with Ag in Motion, Western Canada's Outdoor Farm Expo, to learn how their new online format faired to engage and retain thousands of farmers and exhibitors to their now virtual exhibition site. Read more about this story, ag industry trends and other features in this month's CAAR Communicator.

This month's issue also shares information on the upcoming 2021 CAAR Conference, now held virtually from Feb. 9 – 11, 2021. The CAAR Awards and the CAAR Pro-Ag Investments Auction are also going digital, with details on how to nominate and bid, respectively, available online and on The CAAR Communicator.
