Registration is now open for the Midlands Machinery Show, which returns for its 10th edition at the Newark Showground.
A key theme throughout the show will be the technical advances available to farmers, with various machinery launches and updates happening at the event.
Also returning is the 4×4 and HGV driving experiences, alongside a packed schedule in the demonstration ring.
“Talking to our loyal exhibitors it is clear that we will have plenty to offer farm owners, their workforce, and the wider agricultural industry,” said Elizabeth Halsall, events and development manager at the Newark and Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society.
“It is an opportunity to take some time away from the farm during the winter to meet with suppliers and see what new products have been developed. New technology is going to be in abundance which we feel is going to be a real draw.”
The most local standholder will be John Deere dealer Farol, which is located next to the showground. Technology consultant Tom Hinchley said: “It’s a fantastic show in the local area and is growing in popularity. It has a good reputation and is held at the right time of year for people to attend.
“We’ll be bringing along a top-spec John Deere 8RX 410 with eAutoPowr to not only demonstrate the huge advances in technology underneath the hood, but also how GPS has evolved to enable operators to share workplans and data wirelessly in real time.”
Sands Agricultural Machinery (SAM) has also attended the event for many years and will be returning this November. “We try and take different machines to shows and this year we’ll be taking our Infinity sprayer to show farmers and operators the advanced technology on board,” said Karl Rust who will be representing SAM at the show.
“We love that the show gives us the chance to speak to the end user, face to face.”
The team at Hutchinsons is looking forward to showcasing the latest functionality of its Omnia Digital platform. Digital farming specialist, Ed Strawson, said: “Omnia began as a precision mapping system and today offers a range of user-friendly business modules such as cost of production, rotational planning, and yield and carbon mapping tools.
“We’ve shifted from simply keeping electronic records for, let’s say, a farm assurance audit to being able to send a variable rate drilling plan to a tractor for an operator to complete.
“We’re looking forward to demonstrating the platform as well as the many other services we can offer.”
The Midlands Machinery Show takes place on the 20th and 21st of November. You can register for free tickets at www.midlandsmachineryshow.com
