                |  |  The Dairy Event, the two day business to business event reaching
              dairy farmers with 80% of the UK’s cows, as well as some
              beef and sheep farmers, is scheduled for further expansion at its
              Stoneleigh Park, Coventry site on Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21
              September.
 In addition to a full range of features targeted at all sectors
              of the dairy industry, event organiser, the Royal Association of
              British Dairy Farmers has expanded the machinery area by more than
              60% to 7,500m2, to accommodate increased demand from companies
              following the cancellation of Smithfield Show.
 
 Also new to this year’s Dairy Event is the Forage for Livestock
              Exhibition with a comprehensive range of products and services
              involved in grassland and other forage crop production. In addition,
              the event sees the return of the popular mixer wagon demonstrations
              offering visitors the opportunity to compare models, Diversifarm
              for all those with an interest in farm diversification, Beef from
              the Dairy Herd and the MilkMade Exhibition focussing on dairy technology,

 “Our plans are well in advance to build on last year’s
              Dairy Event which featured 390 trade stands, including over 120
              companies involved with machinery and equipment and attracted an
              increased attendance despite the current trend within the industry,
              together with visitors and trade delegations from 30 countries,” comments
              RABDF chief executive, Nick Everington. “Those plans include
              providing a new and alternative opportunity for machinery exhibitors
              to meet with dealers, contractors, as well as large scale livestock
              producers to promote feeding, bedding and muck handling machinery
              as well as new forage making equipment and products for next season.”
