Organised by the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA), the event will feature leading machinery manufacturers demonstrating the latest crop establishment technology. This includes ploughs, cultivators, and a range of drills such as conventional, strip tillage, and direct drills.

Manufacturers demonstrating their equipment include Amazone, Horsch, Fentech Agri, KRM, Kubota, Kuhn, Kverneland, John Deere, Pottinger, SUMO, Opico, and Vaderstad, offering visitors a comprehensive view of professional crop establishment techniques.
