The inaugural event , which promises to be just as important and spectacular as its sister exhibition , the annual Nampo Harvest Day near Bothaville , will be hosted at Bredasdorp Park in Bredasdorp from 12-14 September 2018 .
This year the Nampo Harvest Day attracted a record number of 82 817 people over the 4-day event !
JDI is very proud and excited to be involved and will be hosting a stall at the event as well . According to Du Toit Wessels , Grain SA ’ s Assistant Marketing Manager : “ It promises to be a wonderful three days where producers and visitors can experience the best exhibitions from the biggest stakeholders in agriculture .”
JDI was officially established in 1960 in Swellendam by Emilius Tomlinson ’ s father and uncle . The resulting John Deere agency at JDI has now been in operation for the last 57 years and , as such , it is the oldest John Deere agency in South
Africa ; something of which the Tomlinson family is extremely proud . Six years ago , JDI joined forces with Senwes as a fully-fledged subsidiary .
At the JDI stall at Nampo Cape , visitors can look forward to the latest products and services from John Deere , Stihl , Lemken , JCB and Strautman . The company also supplies parts and technical services . With more than 100 years of agri-experience JDI has the know-how to ensure that its products and services measure up to the highest standards in the world .
An exciting range of John Deere clothing will also be on offer .
