Voices of the exhibitors
“We are very satisfied, the customers are happy to come out again and get in touch with our consultants personally and watch our varieties live in the field – not only via video and camera,” said Sophie Riebeling from KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA.
“We are totally satisfied, the DLG field days are the platform of the industry, the coming together of all parties involved,” says Markus Röser from BASF SE Agricultural Solutions Europa Nord.
“Even if farmers or contractors are informed about YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., then there is still the scepticism: Does he really do what I see in the video? Fairs such as the DLG Field Days, where we get the opportunity to show something practical, a whole corner helps us,” Phillip Kamps from AgXeed B.V. noted.
Michael Horsch (HORSCH Maschinen GmbH) emphasized: “The DLG Field Days are one of the most important exhibitions in Western Europe at this time for us. I am pleased for the DLG that it can once again show what organizational performance it can provide.”
