The Scottish Championships are held annually in October – in a different area of the country every year – with the aim of promoting the importance of good ploughing.

AgriScot, now widely regarded as one of the premier events in UK agriculture, continues to develop its appeal to all sectors of the industry…both to the trade and to a wide cross section of farmers eager to seek out the products, services, advice and information necessary for their farming businesses.

CropTec an educational focussed and specialised technical event which aims to help farmers develop profitable and sustainable farming. Concentrating on the key areas of crop protection, crop nutrients and the inextricable linked, response related areas of plant breeding and precision, all of which hold the key to profitability and compliance.

ScotGrass provides a unique opportunity to not only see the latest equipment at work, but also discuss new ideas with leading industry experts.

The working demonstrations of grass conservation machinery, products and services will feature several new developments.

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.
