this year to provide additional help and advice
on looking after soils and how to make the
most of autumn herbicide applications and
cover crops”, said Duncan Russell, AEA
Services Manager, “Once again, the event is a
unique opportunity to not only see all the latest
cultivations and crop establishment equipment
at work, but also the chance to discuss new
ideas and get advice from industry-leading
experts.”

There will also be the chance for operators to
get a hands-on drive of the latest sprayers in a
