This year saw the inclusion of several interesting seminars on that all-important subject of Farm Protection , along with Countryside Stewardship and ‘ AHDP grant funding ’.
Several exhibitors spoke to me and praised the organisation for set up and breakdown , where the YAC staff are only too willing to help supported by a fleet of 6 telehandlers that must be asked for and they appear – at no extra cost .
Another element that serves to enhance the visitor experience is attention to that all-important element to a Farmer – food – all too often show food is low on quality and very high in price – not at YAMS . As well as gallons of tea , coffee and soup , three entire hog roasts were consumed , 200 kilos of sausages , more than 2,000 rashers of bacon .
Talking to Richard what was pleasing to see as well as the enormous Northern contingent attending there were both exhibitors and visitors from further afield now , such is the now strong reputation of YAMS .
Talking of visitors making the effort to attend , one keen visitor from Lancashire who like many , hates the M62 came in by Helicopter !
As with every year there are several show awards , these are highly sought after looking at the effort that goes into many of the stands . The awards are kindly sponsored and run by Paul Caunce at AgriMachinery News .
