The annual Precision Farming Event has taken place every year since 1996. It’s the only UK event that specialises in showcasing precision farming equipment to farmers, contractors and agronomists.

It’s aimed at everyone from complete beginners buying their first light bar to seasoned users who have been working with RTK systems for many years.
