AgriLand paid a visit to Sandycove, Ballinspittle, Co. Cork, yesterday, Monday, August 5, to sample the atmosphere at the De Courcey Harvest Day.
Farmhand – the distributor of well-known machinery brands such as Krone, Amazone and Quicke – was the main sponsor of this year’s event, in conjunction with local dealer Derry O’Donovan Machinery.
Bill Chambers from De Courcey Classic & Vintage Club said: “We were very thankful to John O’Donovan for the use of his land for the 2019 event. The beautiful site, which slopes towards the sea at Sandycove, was perfect.”
