Editorial | Redaksie S pring is in the air, and you can see, smell and feel it. Heavy snowfalls have been received country wide and much needed rain has fallen over large parts of the drought-stricken areas of the interior with, according to the weather service, another cold front moving in over the Cape Peninsula with another promise of much needed precipitation. We trust you will enjoy this special edition of AgriKultuur/Culture published to coincide with Nampo Cape 2018 Until next time Chris Hier aan die suidste punt van Afrika, het Bredasdorp oor die laaste paar maande sy vere begin regskud vir ‘n grootse geleentheid, die eerste Nampo Kaap Expo wat vanaf 12-14 September te Bredasdop Park, in Bredasdorp aangebied gaan word. Terwyl die reëlingskomitee agter die skerms druk besig was om die beplanning te doen, was dit die plaaslike gemeenskap wat hande gevat het om die terrein gereed te kry vir die geleentheid. Van oral oor het boere en besighede saamgewerk om pad te skraap, die terrein netjies te maak of onkruid te bespuit, te veel om te noem. Dis nie aldag dat ‘n mens sommer 12 klein grassnyer trekkertjies sien wat soos ‘n goeie rugbyspan gelyktydig aan die werk is om die grasperke in ‘n ommesientjie in ‘n lushof te omskep nie. Nampo Cape 2018 promises to be something extraordinary with exhibition spaces already sold out months ago. Not only will visitors be able to experience the latest technology and development in the farming sector, but also attend the programmes and in-depth conversation opportunities, specially designed to fit the current challenges in agriculture. Read more about some of the programmes that can be attended at Nampo Cape. Laaste maar nie die minste nie, is daar vir ‘n ieder en ‘n elk genoeg te ete en te drinke en bo alles die vriendelikheid en gasvryheid van die Overberg. AgriKultuur |AgriCulture 3
