With serious agriculture very much at the core of the Royal Highland Show, a key issue for the organisers is to ensure that all the equipment, technical know-how and advice is on hand to help farmers and landowners maximise returns from their businesses. It is essential that the show reflects trends in the industry and with that in mind, the organisers last year placed a special emphasis on precision farming. The interest that the theme generated was so significant that it is being repeated this year, and the agricultural business section will once again include all of the UK’s leading manufacturers, dealers and specialists, many of whom will feature new technology.

The Royal Welsh Show strengthened its claim to be the biggest and best-attended event of its kind in Europe when a record 241,099 visitors including over 777 from 39 countries around the world, passed through the gates of the showground at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells.

Tillage-Live is an event for ploughs, cultivation and seedbed preparation equipment, drills and equipment for the arable farmer. The event will include a demonstration arena where exhibitors have the opportunity to exhibit one machine to make one run, in rotation, with a commentary to explain the benefits and features of that piece of equipment to a wider audience before they visit the working plots to see machines at work on larger plots.  The event will also include speficic areas for sprayers and guidance systems to be demonstrated in working conditions.  

The event will feature a learning and development zone, with seminar sessions indoors and outdoors to engage, inspire and educate. 

Breeders from across the UK will be showing at the event. The cattle show will feature classes for Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Dairy Shorthorn, Guernsey, Jersey and Holstein.

The media partnership with Farmers Guardian and Holstein International, along with a marketing investment will ensure the event is promoted across the UK and overseas
