German delegation was not to be underestimated either. So I counted, "without guarantee," 14 DRV members.
Exhibitors and visitors "got lost" in the extensive field and also on the farm grounds. With the many white tents, the area looked a bit like a scattered Roman army camp. In dry and sunny weather with moderate temperatures, all exhibitors were happy to answer questions. Several times on this day, the machines were demonstrated in practice. Soil cultivation, seeds, fertilizers, and seed drills were shown as well as various harrows and vacuums. One focus was on the autonomous and conventional, manually operated mowers presented, but there was also great representation from harvesters and others.
A striking detail for me as a native German is that some harvesters now do without the cleaning brush for the lawn to be harvested. We have to be careful here in Germany. After all, this small detail and its application is an essential part of the approval of the plant protection products that we are allowed to use in finished turf in our country.

Autonomously working machines, which would make the numerous routine tasks such as mowing easier, can no longer be stopped. Te electric technology, which the German participants had already seen at the DRV-field day last Summer, was also represented, as was Freiherr Knigge with Turfcom, and two autonomously driving conventionally diesel-powered tractors.
Vredo presented its entire product range of reseeding equipment. New among them is a small, hand-held, two-line drill for narrow, strip-shaped defects. As the representative explained, a machine twice as wide has already been developed. Certainly an interesting gap closure to the well-known, wider attachments.

Te fact that wildflowers laid out as meadows or lawns no longer seem to be experiencing hype only in Germany, but that a market has now emerged throughout Europe, is an indication of this. After SOS, Yellow Jacket, and RPR, now Barenbrug launched "Happy Lawn," mowable flowers in a resistant lawn.
