Day forty....

LAMMA

Today we attended the LAMMA show at the Peterborough Showground - and it really is the largest agricultural machinery show in Europe! Massive. Lots of shiny new machinery on offer, lots of stands boasting new technologies and lots of farmers with plenty of cash to spend on these new toys.

Although it was interesting to see all the modern technology and development of the machinery - even tractors have taken on a whole new look!, there was work to be done today - gathering information for our machinery class on our specific subjects - in my case GPS/Automated Steering Systems.

So, I gathered a few brochures and leaflets and spoke to a couple of suppliers and will collate this with my fellow team mates accordingly! I did find it hard to approach some manufactures/suppliers as this show felt extremely male dominated, that and I wasn't actually a 'real' customer - so they didn't really have the time to offer much information my way.

Just need to prepare the presentation now...
