Drill Arena

In the drill arena you’ll see 13 drills being showcased around the arena to see what’s new on the market. A live interview from the cab will take place so each company can tell you exactly what you need to know about the machine. Each drill will be displayed at the bottom of the drill arena right by the entrance to the show if you want a closer look.

Drill arena map and surroundings

The drill arena is surrounded by 26 plots containing different Cover Crops. The cover crop plots are sponsored by Farmdeals and will all contain different varieties of SFI seed mixes and cover crops. The main arena is also planted with a cover crop to help the drills show the varieties they work in.
