p At the best display on site is Agrishop sales consultant Scott Mason (left), director Julian Baker, City of Swan councillor Darryl Trease, T-Quip Small Farms Expo co-ordinator Michelle Bollom, Agrishop sales consultant Michael Waterhouse, Expo Sales and PR co-ordinator Rowena Nicholls and Agrishop general manager David Buckweed.
Agrishop was the winner of the best display on site. The news came as a shock to Mr Baker, who jokingly told Farm Weekly that the crew "had spent all morning arguing about how it should look." It all paid off though, with the judge, Mr Trease liking in particular the posters of the machinery under the Agrishop sign, together with text of the noise each machine was thought to have made. For example, the lawnmower said "nrrrrrrrr."
