Tickets are now sold out for next week’s Great Yorkshire Show, which means 140,000 people will converge on the showground in Harrogate from Tuesday to Friday.

Visitor numbers are capped at 35,000 a day and tickets will not be available on the gates, but those attending will be able to see hi-tech modern farming and the latest agricultural innovations in a new Innovation Zone.

It will also link to an innovation trail across the showground which will take visitors to the world’s first 100 per cent methane-powered production tractor, which uses products from crops to generate the fuel.

Holly Jones, co-ordinator of the Farmer Scientist Network, a group which finds new ways for science and technology for solutions and innovation in agriculture, said: “This is an exciting time for agricultural innovation and technology, and we want to celebrate this at the show.”

Dr Dave George, chair of the Farmer Scientist Network, added: “We hope the zone gives our farming visitors new ideas and the wider public a broader perspective of modern agriculture.”
