Lemken’s training programmes are attended by about 5,000 participants each year, and the company feels the time is now right to develop a new training centre. Called AgroFarm, and located 4km from company headquarters at Alpen, Germany, the new facility is being built on an 11,000sq.m. site. Comprising a 1,400sq.m. main building, Lemken can use some of the surrounding land, allowing it to provide both theoretical and practical training sessions from a single location. Scheduled for completion in May next year, the existing farm house at the new training centre will be refurbished for entertaining.
