The 2024 Arable Event reportedly saw bumper crowds, with machinery demonstrations, crop trials and trade stands, as well as a packed seminar schedule.
Event manager Kelly Dolphin said: “We had a fabulous day yet again. We promised a day bigger and better than ever before and we delivered!
“Once again the attendance numbers surpassed previous years. The visitors turned out and the weather was kind to us – not that farmers are ever put off by a bit of rain!
“This was our 10th anniversary event and it couldn’t have gone better. Farming can be a lonely industry, so one of the best things for me was seeing so many people just relaxing over a drink or bite to eat with old friends or new ones they’d just met.
“For farmers, it is particularly important sometimes to just step away from the stresses and anxieties of your own farm bubble. It’s great so many have made the Arable Event a can’t-miss fixture in their busy calendars.”
The event is organised by Wynnstay and Grainlink and takes place on the Bradford Estate, on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border. Entry is free, with the possibility to collect BASIS and NroSO points.
