Too much hay on your fork is not good, but at Balfour Hay Day, more hay means more excitement!
The Balfour Hay Day is a day that farmers record in their diaries long in advance. At this event, various manufacturers will have the opportunity to demonstrate all their haymaking equipment. Farmers weigh the implements against each other and discover new equipment. Everything is about haymaking, which is ultimately the best guarantee for successful livestock farming. There are tools for backyard farmers to mega farmers.
Hay Day is one of the biggest farmer's days in the country and a highlight on the agricultural calendar, bringing together farmers, exhibitors, and the local community with exciting demonstrations, diverse stalls, and strong sense of tradition.
The event offers a valuable platform for the valuation community specializing in or exploring agricultural valuations. Connect with farmers, industry experts, and peers to network, exchange insights, and deepen your understanding of the agricultural landscape.
Don't miss this chance to engage with the farming community and enhance your expertise!
