Irish Machinery manufacturer Abbey Machinery will be exhibiting on the Enterprise Ireland stand with longstanding partner and distributor Farmgard.
On this year’s stand will be a twin auger VF2000 Feeder Wagon and a 2500 Premium Plus Recessed Slurry Tank, as well as information on the complete product range.
At the heart of Abbey Machinery’s offering is a commitment to quality, sustainability, and advanced technologies. For example, the Low Emission Slurry Spreading (LESS) systems enable farmers to reduce emissions, protect soil health and improve nutrient efficiency using advanced data capture to enable farmers to get the most from their land in a sustainable way.
Abbey Diet Feeders unique chopping and mixing action helps the animal to digest the maximum amount of nutrients from the consumed feed, to drive performance and reduce environmental emissions. Abbey Machinery is positioned to support the farmer to achieve their best margins by achieving grants and incentives for more sustainably produced food.
The company says Fieldays presents an unmatched opportunity for Abbey Machinery to connect with farming communities, industry partners, and government stakeholders.
“We’re thrilled to be returning to Fieldays and to be doing so alongside our trusted distributor Farmgard,” says managing director, Clodagh Cavanagh, who will be attending this year’s event.
“It’s a chance to share our latest advancements, strengthen relationships, and gain valuable market feedback.”
