RME is thrilled to once again take on the role of Champion Level Sponsor of the Calgary Stampede in 2026. This partnership reflects our steadfast commitment to agriculture and the deeply held values that shape communities throughout Western Canada. Renowned as the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede offers the ideal setting to honor the rural way of life while highlighting our shared devotion to these enduring traditions.

Since 2022, RME has been proud to serve as an integral part of this iconic event, providing the unmistakable Case IH red equipment seen by visitors throughout GMC Stadium. From the adrenaline-fueled rodeos to the awe-inspiring Evening Grandstand Show, our involvement in this celebration speaks not only to the capability of our machines, but also to our dedication to the people and communities we proudly support.

Across the 10-day spectacle, our Case IH equipment drives the action from behind the scenes. Every evening, an RME Case IH Steiger Quadtrac powerfully maneuvers the Grandstand Show stage into place, paving the way for unforgettable performances brimming with music, stunts, and pyrotechnics. At the same time, our dependable Case IH 4WD Maxxum tractors clock more than 100 hours throughout the Stampede, prepping the infield for rodeo athletes and grooming the track to guarantee ideal conditions for world-class rodeo and chuckwagon racing.

Every year, RME contributes a total of two Steiger 715 Quadtracs, six Maxxums, and six Farmalls to the Calgary Stampede—a clear demonstration of the strength and reliability that farmers depend on day in and day out. Whether pulling the Grandstand, grooming the grounds, or tackling odd jobs like hauling fireworks trailers, our equipment stands as proof of the power and tradition that define modern agriculture.

Yet RME’s influence extends well beyond the Stampede itself. Each April, during Aggie Days, RME and Case IH equipment step back into the spotlight. This yearly event gives thousands of school-aged children the opportunity to discover agriculture and the tools farmers rely on to plant, grow, and harvest successfully. It’s a meaningful way to inspire the next generation while underscoring the essential bond between communities and the land.

For RME, being part of the Calgary Stampede goes far beyond brand recognition or visibility. It’s a matter of pride. It’s about standing shoulder to shoulder with the farmers, ranchers, and rural families who work tirelessly to feed and sustain us all. It’s about celebrating the values that bring us together as a community.

At RME, we remain devoted to doing what’s RIGHT—for agriculture, for our neighbors, and for the rural way of life. Our partnership with the Calgary Stampede is a tribute to that promise. We can’t wait to watch the Stampede grounds light up with RED once again in 2026, as we continue championing the values that strengthen our communities and keep agriculture at the heart of Western Canada.
