Students from Level 2 and Level 3 Agriculture, Level 3 Agricultural Engineering, and the Commercial Horticulture degree programme attended LAMMA on Thursday 15th January, giving them the opportunity to experience one of the UK’s biggest events in the agricultural calendar.
Held annually, LAMMA is the UK’s premier farm machinery show, bringing together farmers and professionals from a wide range of sectors and connecting them with pioneering companies showcasing the latest machinery, technology and equipment shaping the future of agriculture.
Throughout the day, students explored the huge range of displays and exhibits, taking a close look at cutting-edge machinery and discussing new developments with industry representatives. The visit also provided valuable opportunities for students to engage directly with employers and suppliers, ask questions, and begin building professional connections which is an important part of preparing for future careers in the sector.
By stepping outside the classroom and into a real industry environment, students gained insight into how modern farming and agricultural engineering continues to evolve, as well as the role that innovation plays in improving productivity, efficiency and sustainability across the industry.
The trip was a brilliant way to bring learning to life and support students in developing their confidence, knowledge and awareness of the wide range of career routes available within agriculture, engineering and horticulture.
