ON THE COVER
An informed nation
That is exactly what agriculture is
all about! Nation in Conversation
will celebrate its fourth birthday
while Nampo turns 50 this year!
Nation in Conversation goes big
with two open-air broadcast units
at Nampo. In addition, the digital
footprint will be expanded with
the Nation in Conversation App,
available soon. These innovations
will take the discussion to more
people than just the TV audience.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and
LinkedIn will also be abuzz to keep
the conversation going.
Senwes Grainlink takes the lead to
bring technology to the producer
with their new application and
Senwes Mechanisation enters a
new era as Senwes Equipment.
And you, as producer, can share
in the excitement and can win
prizes to the value of R350 000 by
entering a competition of epic
proportions launched by Senwes
Equipment and John Deere. We
also focus on Bothaville, with producer Herbert Bruinette being in
the limelight. Stay informed!
