GRAINANDITJOINUP FORSHOWCASE
Grain 99 and Farm IT – two key technical events staged side-by-side at the NAC, Stoneleigh Park – make a compelling double bill for farmers. Both are free and combine trade and technical exhibits with a seminar programme to offer an informative business day out.
Grain 99 is now recognised as the only event of its kind in Europe and farmers looking for a way through the marketing maze caused by Agenda 2000, coupled with GATT and CAP reforms, need look no further than the events seminar programme.
With over 80 companies and organisations, all leaders in the field of post-harvest technology, the event is a focus on the most efficient and cost-effective systems for handling, cleaning, drying and storing grain.
Farm IT features all aspects of information technology in a mix of exhibits covering everything from the basics to the most sophisticated IT systems developed for the agricultural industry.
New this year is an advice clinic demonstrating how computers, the internet, networks, e-mail and the millennium bug can all affect farm business.
Running the Farm IT event alongside Grain 99 enables us to provide a unique blend of post-harvest arable messages and information technology for arable, dairy and other livestock enterprises.
We look forward to seeing you there.
