Farm / Olds College

Farm Type: Mixed Farm

The Olds College Smart Farm is made up of more than 3,000 acres of land

It is used for crop and forage production including state-of-the-art equipment and technology, 1,000-head capacity feedlot, commercial cow/calf herd, Purebred Red Angus herd and sheep flock — as well as expertise and leadership in ag tech research and development. The Smart Farm also has access to greenhouses, labs, incubator space, a brewery, the National Meat Training Centre, plus additional infrastructure at Olds College of Agriculture & Technology.

Primarily focused on five main areas of applied research — autonomous agricultural equipment, sensors, data utilization, technology development and validation, and regenerative agriculture — the Smart Farm is working towards providing producers with real-life applied research to help them make informed decisions about implementing technology in their own operations.

During Open Farm Days

We will offer bus tours of the Smart Farm and walking tours of the Campus, people are free to explore our Brewery, Meat Shop and Wetlands on their own.
