Administrator Val Day was away from the Buckingham office for the day to man the company stand at the Livestock Event and explain to visitors how the business sells pharmaceuticals directly to vets to help cats, dogs, chicken, horses, pigs and cattle.
William Palmer from BeBa Energy of Hemel Hempstead was at the show to tell farmers about high quality Solar PV panels, which produce electricty, and can be mounted on the roof or on the ground.
Mr Palmer said farms are ideal environments for the solar panels because large farm buildings have plenty of roof space, and fields can be used for large-scale ground-mounted installations.
