J Riley Beet Harvesters, based at Attlebridge between Norwich and Fakenham, held its biennial working demonstration day at Barton Bendish, between Swaffham and Downham Market. The event attracted around 350 farmers and potential buyers, eager to see the latest Vervaet range of sugar beet harvesters in action, and to speak to the Dutch manufacturer's senior directors and engineers, who also attended.
