Grassland UK will take place on Thursday 10 May 2012 in Somerset.
The eagerly anticipated triennial event will showcase grassland machinery and processes from seed to feed.
In 2009, the one day show attracted 8,071 visitors from various locations throughout the UK and overseas.
Grassland UK will be held on working farmland and will feature over 100 acres of working demonstration grass plots. Agrii provided re-seeding of the fields in 2011 with 95 acres over seeded in preparation for this year's show. While the grass must be suitable for the show which comes round every three years it is used for silage and grazing in between. To maintain fresh grass without reseeding Agrii have used overseeding with great success.
Agrii will be focusing on the soil and its influence on the grass crop. Their Precision farming Team will be demonstrate soil structure data collected digitally and cross reference this to physical soil samples revealing a complete picture of the show site. From this base Agrii will provide advice for crop nutrition and agronomy bringing the advanced tools currently used in arable farming to the livestock sector.
