A POPULAR two-day North Yorkshire show is back for 2024 and celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Ripon Farm Services’ New Year Show takes place on Wednesday, January 24, and Thursday, January 25 from 10am to 5pm at the Yorkshire Events Centre at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.

Product specialists from Ripon Farm Services, Ripon Ground Care, and Ripon Technology will be on hand to provide advice on machine choice, set-up, optimisation, and job management. Visitors will be able to explore the latest innovations, speak to experts, and see the products up close.

The star of the show will be the new John Deere 300M self-propelled sprayer. It’s smart, compact, and fully integrated with John Deere Precision Ag Technology with advanced spray control systems to deliver high quality crop protection.

Richard Simpson, commercial director of Ripon Farm Services, said: “We are delighted to be showcasing the new John Deere 300M self-propelled sprayer, it was first introduced at Agritechnica in November last year so it’s great for it to be taking centre stage at our show in January.

“We can’t wait to welcome our customers and guests for what promises to be a very busy 20th anniversary event.”
