Show season is approaching and you’ll find previews and coverage of the most popular events within these pages and future editions. ScotGrass is about a week away as you read this and of course, Cereals will be upon us next month - if you can find the time in your busy schedule to attend! The weather continues to play its part and we seem to be experiencing every season in a day at the moment - the rainfall has been torrential and this, combined with hail and snow (in some parts) makes you wonder just what the summer will be like this year. It’s not looking good at the moment. The deadline for BPS 2016 claims is almost up so get your claim registered before 16th May! You are urged to do this even if you have an outstanding 2015 claim. Technology has never been far away from the farming industry and news is just in that McDonald’s UK are to pioneer virtual reality in support of British and Irish farming - inviting the public to follow the ‘foodsteps’ of farmers, suppliers and restaurant teams. Telling the McDonald’s story through the eyes of the people that grow, produce and prepare food for its UK menu, virtual reality and 360 degree video will be the stars of the show.
