Organised travel and camping at the DLG Feldtage event

For the first time, visitors can take advantage of the FeldtagePlus travel packages. These combine a visit to the DLG Feldtage trade fair with company visits and farm tours in the Soester Börde region, a highly fertile region thanks to the depth of its loess soils. The organised multi-day tours allows farming professionals to make new contacts and benefit from valuable practical insights.

Visitors who want to experience the DLG Feldtage in an original way, can this year stay overnight directly on the site. At the DLG-Feldtage-Camp, guests can choose between cosy camping, caravan or tent accommodation. A small chill-out area allows visitors to relax at the end of the day. Overnight guests have access to sanitary facilities (showers/toilets) on site and a car park right outside the door.

“Crop production out of the Box“ –  Exhibitor voices

• "The current challenges for crop production and crop protection make it clear how important the key topic of 'crop production out of the box' is. Much of what has worked in the past is reaching its limits and needs to be put reevaluated. Innovation is the key to success here and is probably more important than ever for agriculture."
  Dr Norbert Schlang, Head of Marketing ADAMA Deutschland GmbH
   
• "The guiding theme of the DLG Feldtage 2024, 'Crop production out of the box', is an excellent choice. The theme reflect the challenges facing farmers today, which could hardly be greater and more diverse."
  Karin Guendel Gonzalez, Managing Director, Bayer CropScience Deutschland GmbH
   
• “Thinking about tomorrow today: the FarmRobotix platform marks a significant step towards the future of agriculture. A visit to the DLG Feldtage is beneficial to everyone: in addition to the exchange of information and expertise, there will be first-hand practical solutions as field demonstrations. It is an opportunity to find out about the latest developments in arable farming and to make valuable contacts."
  Lars Heier, Business Development, LEMKEN GmbH & Co. KG
   
• "Farmers must assert themselves in an international and competitive environment by carving out advantages for themselves. This requires above all new knowledge and access to findings that have been discussed at a professional level. The DLG Feldtage is the ideal platform for this."
  Christoph Kempkes, CEO, Raiffeisen Waren-Zentrale Rhein-Main AG
   
• "The population expects farmers to play a pioneering role in the transformation of our society and economy. We must face up to this challenge together. We expect the DLG Feldtage to provide important impetus for this - and we offer concrete solutions for plant cultivation in return"
  Marcus Iken, CEO, Saaten-Union GmbH
   

Co-organiser and partners include the Ministry of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Raiffeisen Waren-Zentrale Rhein-Main AG (RWZ), Cologne, and Raiffeisen Waren GmbH, Kassel.
