32 YAMS 2020 FEB/MAR 2020 • farmers-mart.co.uk those all-important deals as well as gather knowledge and ideas of new services, products and innovations which will aid Farmers in the day to management on the farm. Despite the difficult season and the uncertainty of Brexit going forward YAMS maintained its status with exhib- itors reporting a very good number of transactions and sales completed as well as genuine leads to be followed up afterwards. Richard Tasker has put a lot of time and effort into the design and man- agement of the show along with huge support from his team. I asked him why the show continues to be such a success year after year since the first show in 2014? “The continued success of the show I think is still all about local dealerships, familiar faces on stands, a range of equipment that is found on all Yorkshire farms, good traffic management, good food and remaining as a business show. It’s all about the 5 Ps – Perfect Planning Prevents Poor Performance” Well I think Richard has it in a nutshell there. I like many others am looking forward to the 2021 show when no doubt there will be new exhibitors, more innovations and yet more to interest, engage and support the North’s farmers.
