Robert also met up with some of our customers, at our site and at their various farms. He and James had meetings about Househam and all the prospects for the future going forward.

Before he left, Robert was treated to an air tour of the spectacular Canterbury area.

This is what Robert had to say about Euro Agri after his visit:

“The growth of EuroAgri over the last 18 months is not only impressive, but a testament to their company values of providing a great product and outstanding customer service. Househam is a company built on strong relationships with our own employees, customers and business partners;  we strive to work with companies who share those same values. James and the EuroAgri team proactively demonstrate their dedication to building long term relationships. -Robert Willey, Managing Director Househam Sprayers Ltd. “

One of the many highlights of the visit, was the three day agricultural trade fair at Agromek – northern Europe’s largest agricultural trade fair, which is held every two years. James and Jo were amazed at the size of the show, which attracted over 37,ooo farmers, contractors and dealers that wondered through the 13 halls filled with machinery from Denmark and the UK. Both He-Va and Bredal were also present at the show. He-Va launched three new tillers at Agromek: the Euro-Tiller, the Front-Tiller and the Triple-Tiller – the Triple-Tiller taking the 2010 Agromek new product award.

James and Jo also braved the cold weather visiting many Danish contractors, and among others, a 500ha pig, mink and cereal farm. Mink farming is the third largest animal farming industry in Denmark, after pork and dairy. The mink farming produces almost 40% of the world’s production – and this generates more than NZ$700million a year in exports. Because Denmark experiences thick snow for many months of the year with temperatures ranging from -8º to -13º temperatures, the animals are housed indoors for many months of the year.

A wonderful time was had by James and Jo – Bredal and He-Va were fantastic hosts making them feel right at home in their two week visit.
