After missing 2 years because of covid, the Lincolnshire Show was on June 22nd and 23rd 2022. It has managed to maintain its agricultural roots despite many other County shows having to include lots of non agricultural exhibitors and events just to survive.

I’m part of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society Board which oversee the running of the Showground and it’s events. I’m also Lincolnshire’s representative on the national NFU Council and the NFU have a big presence at the show. Hence I always go to both days of the show. I’m also a life member of the Lincs Ag Society thanks to a 21st birthday present from my parents, both now no longer with us.

There’s a huge amount going on so I tried to capture the atmosphere and various companies exhibiting with interviews and my commentary around the show. It’s 44 mins long so if something isn’t interesting you, don’t skip too far as the next clip will.

Vintage tractors feature heavily as does one of the first commercial tractors, designed by my great great uncle in the early 1900’s.

Hope you enjoy it.

Next week my update will feature part 1 of 3 of a tour around the farm.
