AgriScot, to be held next Wednesday, looks set to be the biggest ever, with an extra hall called into use and a host of business events and seminars lined up.
Organisers are recommending registration in advance for the show as a means of ensuring quick and easy entry.
Andrew Moir, AgriScot chairman, is also keen to remind visitors that there will be three entry and exit points to the halls at the Royal Highland Centre at Ingliston.
Visitors will be able to use the north car parks and north gate to access the Highland Hall, as in previous years, or take advantage of additional parking adjacent to the Upland Hall and use a new dedicated entrance to that building.
The Upland Hall better known as the site of the car auctions will be available to AgriScot for the first time, allowing the trade stand area to be expanded.
AgriScot is free to enter and has free parking.
Mr Moir said: “Our ethos is farm business.
“We stage a true trade event which allows farmers to seek and discuss advice, consider innovation and take something useful back to their own business be it arable, livestock or even energy production,” he added.
“Mirroring the picture across farming as a whole, renewable energy production is set to be more prominent at AgriScot this year.
“Scottish Renewables, the sector umbrella body, is to hold two seminars.
“For arable farmers and, indeed stock farmers, too, the chance to hear directly from Cabinet Secretary Richard Lochhead on Scottish Government’s plans for implementation of the new CAP regime including greening rules will be one not to be missed.
“Many of the trade stands will also have a distinctly arable flavour, with cultivation specialists Great Plains and Horsch once again having prominent stands among a host of other big machinery names,” he said.
“Beef farmers can once again look forward to the live-animal beef demonstration in the show ring, which for 2014 will examine how farmers can tighten up the calving period of their herd,” he added.
“Sheep farmer visitors will have to wait until the 2015 event to learn the result of the inaugural Thorntons Solicitors Scottish Sheep Farm of the Year, but in 2014 they will be spoiled for choice in terms of trade stands offering sheep advice, services and supplies.”
Dairying is, of course, still at the heart of the show as it has been since the early days when the event was known as DairyScot.
There will be an elite show of cows and heifers from the three main dairy breeds, with the judging in the hands of South Yorkshire dairy farmer Edward Griffith.
The present price-related turmoil in the dairy industry will be recognised, too, with a special NFU Scotland-led seminar examining the future of the sector.
