There is some limited remaining stand space available for next year’s FTMTA (Farm Tractor & Machinery Trade Association) Farm Machinery Show, according to the association’s Gary Ryan.
According to the FTMTA, the level of interest in what is being described as “Ireland’s flagship farm machinery event” is very high.
This, says the body, sends a “positive message about the level of confidence in the professional Irish farming sector and in the professional farm machinery industry that supports the mechanisation requirements of the sector”.

These were sent to all exhibitors that partook in this year’s Grass & Muck event and, also, those present at the last Farm Machinery Show in 2017.
The association’s Executive Council agreed dates for the 2019 Farm Machinery Show earlier this year. The event, which will again be held at Punchestown Event Centre near Naas (Co. Kildare), will run over three days from Thursday, February 7, to Saturday, February 9.

It also had the “highest number of exhibitors and largest area of exhibition space to date”.
Other events
Of course, the association has also been reflecting on this summer’s Grass & Muck event, which took place at Gurteen College in the midlands.
