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.
