The sugar beet cultivation association Adelhofen-Neuherberg GbR organised an information day on Sunday, 19 September to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the harvesting community. On this occasion, the 10th ROPA beet harvester was handed over to the cultivation association, which in turn is the 2,000th three-axle beet harvester from ROPA. These three milestones provided an occasion for a small celebration on the field.
