Meet the CIS Team at AgriScot

Meet the CIS team at AgriScot on the Holstein UK Group trade stand #115 in Highland Hall.

AgriScot is the UK event to showcase new innovations and solutions to support farming businesses.

With soaring input costs impacting the bottom line of many farming businesses, new innovations to help build resilience and increase efficiency will be at the heart of discussions at this year’s AgriScot. One of the UK’s premier business events has launched an impressive programme of exhibitors and seminars to support attendees with their future planning.

The free event, which takes place on Wednesday 16th November, has been running for more than 20 years and will bring together over 230 exhibitors showcasing new innovations and solutions, from machinery and technology to nutrition, consultancy, and finance.  

The seminar programme has been designed to tackle some of the big pressures facing farming businesses, and will include sessions on agricultural policy, recruiting staff, skills and training, financial management, dairy, arable technologies and livestock identification to name a few. Following two successful events during the pandemic, the seminars will also be live streamed for anyone unable to attend the event.  

With over £25,000 available in prize funds, the highest value of any event in the country, the Dairy Cattle Classes draw herds from across the UK and Ireland, with entries open until 28th October 2022. This year’s judge, Niels Erik Haahr is one of the top Holstein breeders in Denmark, and works with cattle in Germany and Scandinavia, investing in high-quality genetics from across the world.  

A highlight of the day is The AgriScot Scottish Farm Awards, with the finalists announced earlier this month. Categories include Arable, Dairy, Beef, Sheep and Diversified, as well as Product Innovation, Silage, and Business Skills, demonstrating the breadth and depth of the event.  

The Technical Beef Demonstration offers plenty of interaction in the main ring, inviting the audience to submit questions as specialists and breeders discuss the importance of good cattle management.     

AgriScot takes place at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston and runs from 9am to 5.30pm. It is located within walking distance of Edinburgh airport, where a free shuttle bus is available, and just a short tram journey from Edinburgh City Centre and mainline rail networks. If travelling by road, car parking is free.  

For those wishing to make the most of their visit to Edinburgh, a range of budget and premium hotels are located next to the venue, including a Moxy, Travelodge, Holiday Inn Express, Premier Inn, Hilton, Doubletree and Norton House Hotel.
