AGRITECHNICA Continued from page 7 Agricultural Machinery Dealers areas of focus for DLG’s professional work will be presented. DLG’s Test Centre Technology and Farm input will be presented at stand D43 whilst <strong>Agritechnica</strong> innovation award winners will be presented at stand B44. New: Special focus on soil and water The future of farming lies in the effi cient and sustainable use of two of agriculture’s most crucial inputs – soil and water. At the „World Soil and Water Show“, visitors can view innovative methods of soil tillage and examples of how water is put to optimal use in croplands worldwide. Exhibits showing improved irrigation systems and a ‘Special’ segment showing how water levels in soil can be enhanced are guaranteed to inspire. Soil and water is also a key forum topic and takes place in the same area as the World Soil and Water Show in hall 11 (Pavilion, stand A02). New: China – Towards greater mechanisation China’s drive towards greater mechanisation is given special emphasis this year with an agrimachinery event organised by DLG Agriservice and the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture in Beijing. A country at the threshold of exciting changes in its landuse policies and support for entrepreneurship in agribusiness, China’s pace of mechanisation in agriculture is expected to accelerate in the coming years. Defi - nitely a trend to watch out for! Centre for international dealers and used machinery The International Dealer Centre in hall 7 will be the key contact point for all partners in the distribution of agri-machinery. Dealers will also fi nd the Used Machinery Centre, located adjacent to the International Dealer Centre, to be a useful point for establishing contacts in the global dealership of second-hand machinery. Both centres are hosted by the German 8 TRADER | 2 | 2009 and Mechanics (H.A.G.) and the European umbrella association CLIMMAR. Workshop LIVE – Excellence in mechanics Good service performance and well-trained staff are crucial to the future of the agri-machinery market. In hall 7, practical repair and maintenance demonstrations will serve to illustrate the skills required for each level of technical expertise. In addition, visitors can also enquire further about the training needs and job scopes within the mechanic profession.

Young farmers of the world <strong>Agritechnica</strong> invites young farmers and students from all over Europe and the world to engage in lively discussions and share new concepts on the future of farming at a conference held on 12 and 13 November. Ideas on optimising returns on investments and steering the future of agriculture towards sustainable growth are important questions that face tomorrow’s farmers.
