[QUOTE="NYTP, post: 4127348, member: 11686"] We came over to this show to exhibit as part of the UK pavilion. It was the first time the UK government had been back since 2001. IMO the stand was a little lacklustre but they learnt alot and I think in future more budget will be spent on the look of the stand. The analogy of the Royal Show is good, however the quality of the machinery stands at Fieldays don't match the Royal in it's heyday. The machinery stands are comparable to me as one of the bigger county shows, albeit with manufacture support. Some of the dairy related stands were impressive and the sheer amount of Swanndri shopping bags carried around! What interested me most talking to farmers and dealers is the lack of specialist shows. The main shows besides this is the Central Districts and South Island Field days. All of which are general rural shows, There is no LAMMA or Cereals style so a lot of the visitors of the shows are there for free ice cream from ANZ and to look at the new Holden. It highlight several points. The advancement of the British economy. The size of the British farm market that it can sustain these shows, this is also considering that agriculture has little importance to the overall UK economy, unlike New Zealand where agriculture exports are integral to it you would think a 'farmer only' show would of been started now. It also shows the potential for British farmers in a post CAP world if ways are changed, but that's another story. [/QUOTE]
