Ploughings way too commercial.The cost of space is so high the people farmers depend on for service and repairs cant afford to attend and the fast buck merchants are all over the place.Great place to meet  people but the organisers are too busy counting money . Traffics crazy,Car parking miles away for the public yet as you walk through the empty fields to the event your constantly being passed by cars full of people who are allowed through by the stewards.Waves of stewards checking everybody on the way in just in case anybody forgot to pay and not a sign of a steward all day to deal with the inevitable problems that emerge and where are they when everybody is stuck in the field for hours trying to leave. The event is moved around every year so the NPA dont have to spend money putting up a decent facility .Of course there will be a huge crowd again this year but its far from perfect. The absence of John Deere says it all.
