GRASSLAND & MUCK SET 2017 DATE
Triennial event returns to Stoneleigh
The organisers of Grassland & Muck 2017 say they are delighted to be teaming up with Yara once again to help farmers maximise grass efficiencies with cutting edge research and technology.
The triennial event, organised by the Royal Agricultural Society for England (RASE), returns to Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on 24-25 May 2017. Organisers are promising a bumper display of machinery, live demonstrations and grass plots, along with timely advice and technical forums.
“With 145 acres of working grass and machinery demonstrations, Grassland & Muck is the biggest and best grass, forage and muck event in the UK,” says David Gardner, chief executive at the RASE. “In 2014 we had nearly 13,500 visitors – 94% of whom rated the event as good or excellent; and over 230 exhibitors – 96% of whom met their objectives.”
RASE say next year promises to be just as fulfilling, with visitors able to get advice and see displays across the whole spectrum of grass management, from the latest varieties to relieving soil compaction, nutrient management, harvesting, ensiling, feeding and muck spreading. “It really is a vast site, with plenty of room to see machinery working: In 2014 we hosted more than £20 million of equipment and 76% of visitors planned to make a purchase as a result of their visit,” adds Mr Gardner.
“Preparations for Grassland & Muck 2017 are roaring ahead, and stand sales are now under way,” says event organiser Alice Bell. “With 92% of 2014 exhibitors planning to book at next year’s event, space is likely to sell out fast.”
