My first LAMMA show! The networking was great, speaking to different individuals across the companies helping me get a better understanding of the wider Agricultural industry and where my own company sits! I listened to a talk by NFU (National Farmers'​ Union) president Tom Bradshaw which was an honest speech but interesting. Watching Live demonstrations of different machines which I haven’t had the chance to see in person before was exciting! One discussion I had that stands out to me was with a semi retired farmer. We discussed how many young people there are coming into agriculture in general and how at the show there was a very high percentage of young faces! I think this credits to shows like Clarkson farm brining a spotlight to the industry. While I was at the show I had the chance to meet Kaleb Cooper (Jeremy Clarkson was also there but sadly didn’t get to meet him) the buzz and excitement around them was incredible and the busiest parts of the shows was when they were giving interviews or speeches!
