Taking place at Ragley Estate on 20-21 May, the organisers of the Grassland & Muck 2020 event say over 70% of stands have already sold out, with leading machinery brands snapping up the grass and muck demonstration opportunities to showcase their machines in a working environment.

“Grassland & Muck really is a unique demonstration event,” says event organiser Alice Bell. “We plant and manage the grass specifically to give us the best possible crop to host over 170 acres of machinery demonstrations. With a new and improved layout, it really is the best place to see and compare the latest machines in action and pick up ideas and expert advice.”

Organisers, the Royal Agricultural Society, say the muck machinery demonstrations are in high demand for 2020 with both muck spreader and slurry injector bookings above those seen at the last event in 2017.

The Ragley Estate team did a great job to get all the grass drilled in September before it then rained every day for a month, says Ms Bell. The sown plots are also well established, enabling visitors to see and compare over 100 of the latest grass mixes and recommended grass varieties in the ground next May.

New for 2020 is the opportunity for exhibitors to have a half acre working plot, suitable for bale wrapping and handling, overseeders, pasture improvers, aerators and zero grazers. These demonstration plots will offer visitors the chance to compare a greater range of machinery.
