That's okay then
Might put some land on the market!With the average age and BMI of a farmer an outbreak of Corvid from a show would have a serious effect!
The vaccine will be safe. Hence the billions of money spent on trials and time to get it to market. As far as I’m aware they are using existing vaccine technology anyway.
Remember the Thalliodomide problem ?Now I know this thread is about shows and the likelihood of them going ahead or otherwise, and many have articulated their points better than I for them happening or otherwise,
But,
@serf @startinghandleit is your choice not take a vaccine.
This antivax crap really is sh!t,
So for clarity please tell us which vaccines are killing and damaging people or animals.
More specifically where the vaccination outcomes are worse than the disease in question,
And while we are at it the mortality rate in your livestock that are not vaccinated.
Thanks
Some prob wont even know what that was !Remember the Thalliodomide problem ?
even if a vaccine is found it will be a long time before we all get it - imagine the logistics involved !
i wouldn’t hold out all hope for a vacation - some viruses have no vaccine (AIDS etc). We might just have to learn how to live with this
Uk show business was overdue some changes, it had become overcrowded and im not sure it was working for exhibitors, the internet has changed the way people make buying decisions for ever and marketing strategy has evolved with that change
some shows will have a place post covid but i think there will be a lot less of them. The bigger shows are the most fragile i would say, how can they afford to loose a complete year or more of income ?
imagine how long you could keep farming without a harvest!
You may well be right. It seem like a “reset point” for the industry or should I say the supply industry. It’s not just Ag’ —all shows will be under review in many industries.even if a vaccine is found it will be a long time before we all get it - imagine the logistics involved !

Smell the coffee? If they go to a show on the right trade stand they will get a free coffee to drinkMany of the shows will not happen again large and small shows take this last year most industry's are back in working and selling with out the cost of the shows.
There will find new ways of getting to there customers.
We have bought three large items this year with out going to shows.
Shows are so last century.
The internet and good dealers will be stronger and the way forward once people start doing things differently they very really go back to doing things the old ways.
I have enjoyed many good days out going to shows but that was then not now people will have to wake up and smell the coffee or words to that effect.
Chae all well and good but when we have the mass media peddling fake news and rhetoric designed to undermine the industry then I fear it will take more than a local show to promote usDepends on what you believe is purpose of shows?
For me they are very much a social event. For people's mental health I hope they start again. Biggest earner at our local show is the beer tent.
Secondly they are a great link between the countryside and the public. It gives people from towns/cities a chance to get close up with animals and us as farmers a chance to educate them and promote our industry.
It's the only chance we get. Plenty people moan about the nfu and other bodies not doing anything. But local shows give us a chance to do it face to face. If they are paying a tenner to get in so obviously have a interest already.Chae all well and good but when we have the mass media peddling fake news and rhetoric designed to undermine the industry then I fear it will take more than a local show to promote us

My wife runs education rent and is normally over run with kids and parents wanting to take part in activities and do quizzes.

In the late 50's there was an anti sickness drug for pregnant women called thalidomide which caused deformities in lots of children and there is no guarantee it won't happen again

Have to agree. They are very much a social event here in the borders. Each town putting on its own event. The craic with the guys setting up on the week before the show and taking down after is worth the work in itself. For the vast majority of farmers working on their own all the time, it's great to have a bit of group chat and many hands to help.Depends on what you believe is purpose of shows?
