OUT AND ABOUT
Tillage Live ploughs on with some amazing demos THE LATEST AGRICULTURAL machinery was put to work in a series of impressive demonstrations at Tillage Live. The event returned to DownAmpney in Gloucestershire in September, and BAGMA’s Business Development Manager Richard Jenkins attended for the first time. Organised by the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) on behalf of its members, the Crop Establishment Demonstrations gave visitors the chance to see the largest number of exhibitors in the UK, in action across fieldscale lots. A f ter the early mist had cleared, visitors were treated to stunning late summer’s day at a site perfect for such a show. Many of the major manufacturers were exhibiting, supported by local dealers – the majority being
BAGMA members. The event allows farmers and contractors the opportunity to see demonstrations from different companies in adjacent plots. It’s a chance to see the latest equipment at work and to discuss new ideas with industry experts. It was also great to see so many students there from the local colleges. BAGMA would highly recommend attending future Tillage Live shows. It was expertly run with timed demonstrations in the central plot and machiner y constantly in operation – something that indoor shows are not able t o achieve.
