The Adelhofen-Neuherberg GbR sugar beet harvesting collective organized an informational afternoon on Sunday September 19, on the occasion of the 30-year anniversary of the sugar beet harvesting collective. In this context, there was a joint celebration and the 10th ROPA sugar beet harvester was handed over to the harvesting collective, which in turn is the 2,000th three-axle sugar beet harvester produced by ROPA. These three anniversaries were the occasion for a small celebration in the field.
