CropTec 2016: Helping farmers remain competitive in a dynamic arable sector

More than 140 exhibitors displaying the latest science and technology will be attending CropTec 2016 when it returns to Peterborough showground at the end of November.

T he event will also feature an informationpacked seminar programme delivered by leading specialists, underlining CropTec’ s position as the essential technical event for arable and mixed farmers, their advisers and associated industries.

“ CropTec provides farmers with a unique opportunity to find ideas, inspiration and answers”
Building on three very successful years, the show promises to be the biggest and
most relevant yet, says Elisabeth Mork-Eidem, Group Head of Events at show organiser Briefing Media Agriculture.
“ CropTec provides farmers with a unique opportunity to find ideas, inspiration and answers on everything from crop protection and nutrition to plant breeding and soil management in one place,” she adds.
“ But it is very much a two-way process – CropTec is all about knowledge exchange, creating the ideal forum for visitors, exhibitors and researchers to exchange ideas and experiences for their mutual benefit.”
The event remains free for farmers and agronomists to attend, provided tickets are
booked in advance.
CropTec takes place at the East of England Showground, Peterborough, on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th November.
