WELCOME

Hello and a very warm welcome to the inaugural West Country Farming & Machinery Show.

We’re very proud to bring you this brand-new show for the South West. To truly showcase all that the agricultural and farming industry has to offer and to come together to celebrate all that it stands for. We hope that today gives you the chance to do just that, as well as network, get up to date on what the industry has to offer, and simply catch up with fellow farmers and agricultural workers.

Being based in the South West and working with excellent agricultural companies on a day-to-day basis, we at Agricultural Trader and Profi realised that there wasn’t a professional business show for our industry based in the area, and thus the West Country Farming & Machinery Show was born.

This is why we have brought together all the very best exhibitors the South West has to offer, covering traders for the very best machinery and products, to financial and business services, as well as charities and colleges, plus much more.

Wanting to carve our own unique event for the industry, we also have a number of fantastic events for you today, including four seminars comprising some hot topics for the industry (page 17), a live auction at noon today courtesy of Edward Buckland PLUS demos for some top machinery.

There’s plenty more besides and we’re looking forward to speaking to you today –so make sure you visit us on stand 61.

I would especially like to highlight our headline sponsors Alois Pöttinger, Avon Tuning, Briarwood and Blackdown Farm Parts for their support for our first show, plus a massive thank you to all of our exhibitors. The show wouldn’t exist without you.

Thank you for coming along to the first ever West Country Farming & Machinery Show, we hope you enjoy your visit!
