AGRIFEST is back for another year. 

The Devon County Agricultural Association, the organisation that has played a leading role in the development of agriculture and the rural economy in Devon since 1872, has announced that the south west event will be returning to Westpoint this autumn on Wednesday November 8

Now an important staple in Devon’s agricultural calendar, Agrifest South West has grown to be a showcase for the region’s unrivalled expertise in the cultivation of primestock cattle and sheep.

Though only on for one day, Agrifest South West presents a jam-packed agenda for today’s farmers and agricultural professionals, offering them the opportunity to exhibit their primestock, meet like-minded farmers and chew the cud over the issues facing the sector, attend seminars and workshops presented by some of the leading luminaries in farming industry today, as well as engage with existing and new suppliers.

Event Chair, Deborah Custance Baker said: ‘This is a must attend event for anyone involved in the industry’ she said. ‘It is well documented that farming is a very isolated industry to work in and collaboration is key to keeping the tractor wheels turning.

‘This event is all about bringing farmers together, under one roof, and to offer them insights into their business they won’t find anywhere else.’

‘As if that’s not all, there’s £5,000 worth of prize money to be won, as well as silverware provided by the Royal Smithfield Club!’
