Has this been really badly advertised or is it just me?
That’s the first mention I’ve heard of the show

It looks like umbrella's will certainly be needed today! Luckily we've got our show trailer with us, so if you are at the show pop over for a brew, a warm and a chat

Interesting feedback @Dave W I will relay back to the organisers, hopefully you can make it to the show!

I concur.

Would rather go to it than Agritechnica.

Is it that much better

All I can say is myself and the 3 others that were disappointed. Seemed to be less stands than before. The car parking planning was beyond ridiculous. Took us longer to drive the mystical route to park than the go round the show.

I was told last week that there was 40 new exhibitor’s. One lot in the GS Hall hadn’t even turned up ! and I struggled to see who were the extras sadly.
I agree with you @Sprinter 10 regarding the lap of honour you had to do to park, and some mates left around lunchtime, followed the exit signs only to struggle getting out as they were letting cars in the same gate !!

Although impressive, most of machines at Agritechnica irrelevant to me.

Not a bad show ,plenty of small companies there all willing to chat
Then 90 mins at agrilinc on the way home. not a great deal looked drilled on the trip from suffolk

Seemed to be less there, especially outside and there were 3 John Deere dealers all grouped together in the corner - Farols & Ben Burgess, next to each other and opposite Ripon ?
Dunno what that was about
Did many farmers attend?

Not going this year but not being as busy as some shows I’ve always found exhibitors wanting to talk.
Some of the big shows, whilst far more busy, are only good for looking/tyre kicking

Needs some bloody resurfacing on the roads and on the old airfield.

Doesn't it just, bloody awful mess

I found it off-putting - carpark full of rangerovers, fields full of 100k+ kit. But noone arsed to fix the road in.

 

[teslacoils]

In the end we got there at ten and left at one, including time to eat an £11 breakfast. Won't go again. It's not that there was nothing there, more that when you're a small farm with ruined crops, you can't get excited about big kit.

 

[Heathland]

In and out in a couple of hours,got to chat to a couple of local engineering companies,its a good source for local information.
Its the smaller companies that I didn't know existed and they seem keen too help,hopefully they'll get back in touch
Definitely a lot smaller,but like too support my local show,definitely not in a spending mood.
@teslacoils I'm going on my push bike next time.

 

[Beet King]

Went today too wet to do anything else, as said the car park access road was a shocker, nigh on knackered my wheel rims! Long walk from the gate until you reached some stands and seemed short on visitors today.
I don't think we would hurry back, nothing that we couldn't see elsewhere in a dry and warm setting (LAMMA).
