Ripon Farm Services to stage New Year Show next week
Ripon Farm Services is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary with the return of its annual show next week.
The New Year Show will be held over two days at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate on January 19 and 20.
The show, which is one of the key events on the northern agricultural calendar, will feature the largest combine harvester in Europe and the new John Deere 6R tractor.
More than 5,000 people are expected to attend.
