FTMTA Grass & Muck 2018

Following the very successful FTMTA Farm Machinery Show 2017 held during February, FTMTA has received numerous enquiries about future events. FTMTA holds two public farm machinery events on alternating years; both events are run in accordance with the ethos that they are “organised by the trade for the farmer and contractor”. The next public event to be held by FTMTA will be FTMTA Grass & Muck to take place during May of 2018 and the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show will return in February of 2019.

The exact date of FTMTA Grass & Muck 2018 has yet to be confirmed but the event will return to Gurteen College near Birr during May of next year. The Gurteen site is in a very central and accessible location and, with the excellent facilities of the college on hand, it has proved to be a very successful venue for this event which has become very popular with exhibitors and the Irish farming public alike attracting approximately 11,000 visitors in 2016.

The focus at FTMTA Grass & Muck is very much on working machinery with ongoing demonstrations throughout the day in the grass harvesting, reseeding, silage pit, slurry spreading and farm yard manure spreading areas. A large trade stand area for non demonstrating exhibitors will also be provided in a central position at the event and this is a dimension that has grown substantially over the years.

FTMTA Grass & Muck is sure to be the farm machinery highlight of 2018 and the exhibitor application packs in relation to the event will be issued after the summer. Any firm interested in exhibiting at the event for the first time can register their interest in advance by contacting the FTMTA office on 045 409309 or at admin@ftmta.ie Previous exhibitors at the most recent FTMTA events will receive the application pack as a matter of course.
