4 EDITOR’S INTRO
DEC/JAN 2019 • farmers-mart.co.uk
As we stroll in to 2019,
we start the year with
some major machinery
shows, the first being
LAMMA, which has a
location change this year to
the NEC in Birmingham. Then in February
up here in Yorkshire is YAMS (Yorkshire
Agricultural Machinery Show). We have
extensive pre-show coverage in this issue,
and we’ll be following up in the next edition
with a show review. Our preview has over
15 pages dedicated to various businesses
who are all exhibiting at this year’s show.
ALSO in this issue, is a feature
on farm security, which has
become a big topic due to the
rise in rural crime across the UK.
We’ve included several articles
that provide advice and sugges-
tions to help deter any unwel-
come visitors with criminal inten-
tions to your farm. Burg-Wächter
provides some valuable tips on
securing your farm and there's
an article from the NFU which
also provides a plethora of useful
hints on security.
Technology in 2018 start-
ed making bigger waves in
farming, the Hands-Free
Hectare successfully operated
an autonomous combine and
achieved unloading on the
move for the first time. The
Small Robot Company be-
gins trials at the Waitrose and
Partners farm in Hampshire
testing the use of their auton-
omous farm bots. Plus, we’ve
seen greater use of technology
generally, everything from mo-
bile apps to the use of drones
has seen growth within the
industry.
One of the big topics on
everyone’s lips this year has
been Brexit. At the time of writ-
ing, parliament hadn’t voted on
the deal, which is now due to be
done on 14th January, and the
government were preparing for
a possible No Deal scenario.
' a plethora of
useful hints
on security '
We will continue as we’ve al-
ways done to bring you the lat-
est news, great articles on those
working within the industry
and in-depth special features
focused on topics in farming
throughout 2019. That’s all for
this issue, we hope you had a
great Christmas and a Happy
New Year, and we look forward
to the rest of the year.
