The free entry show draws around 15,000 visitors to the 30 acre site at York Auction Centre, Murton, York with 12 new exhibitors already lined up to make their debuts on 5th February 2025, joining more than 200 stands featuring every major agricultural machine dealership across the region.

They join regular exhibitors Scrutons, Peacock & Binnington, Claas, Farmstar. Ripon Farm Services and Russells.
As well as the latest state-of-the-art machinery from leading manufacturers displayed by local dealerships, the show also offers a prime opportunity for small businesses and bespoke engineers to display their products to a targeted audience and gain valuable exposure.
Richard Tasker, YAMS founder and organiser, said: “This year has been incredibly challenging for the farming sector, coupled with adverse weather conditions and the uncertainty brought about by the Autumn Budget. Despite all the difficulties, I am delighted to see our exhibitors and supporters demonstrating such resilience and determination for the future of our industry.
“YAMS continues to thrive with new exhibitors joining our extensive list of show favourites to accentuate the fact the agriculture industry remains vibrant despite the ongoing pressures. As a business and technology agricultural show, we deliver exactly what we promise, and we’re proud of that.
“We have worked extremely hard to retain our position as the leading one day show in the North of England. As they say, “if you rest, you rust” which is supported by everyone involved in YAMS, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement.”
One of the key aspects of YAMS ongoing success is its ability to incorporate support for the health and welfare of farmers which has been an important factor in the show’s award winning success.
This year, the Samaritans, RABI, Farming Community Network, and Prostate Cancer UK will all have dedicated stands at YAMS. Richard added: “Supporting the farming community is more important than ever, as farming continues to be a challenging and often isolating occupation. Having experts on hand who can provide advice, support, and even health checks is a crucial part of what we offer at YAMS, and we are proud to play a role in supporting the well-being of farmers. YAMS is not just about showcasing innovation - it’s also a fantastic social and networking occasion, giving the farming community a valuable opportunity to come together, connect face to face, and support one another."
The show also enables visitors to collect Continuing Professional Development points – BASIS and National Register of Sprayer Operators (NRoSO) as part of their qualification for membership renewal.
The show organisers continue to offer a convenient transport system to ensure smooth travel to the site. The Grimston Bar Park & Ride service is free of charge, with buses running every 15 minutes and dropping visitors right at the show entrance. Additionally, there is free onsite parking for up to 3,500 vehicles, with adjacent overflow parking available to accommodate extra visitors.
