Many fans, especially those representing the younger generation, took part in a meeting with popular farmers and influencers. Sebastian Staniewski, known as "Fit Farmer", Tomasz Klimkowski - "swietokrzyskirolnik" and Magda Urbaniak, who runs the Trakctormania channels, answered questions about modern agriculture, safety in the countryside. The most difficult question turned out to be the one about their dreams.

– On my farm I have a URSUS tractor dated back to 1973. This is the oldest one that has great milage, hundreds of thousands of work-hours in the field, many drivers and this one still goes strong. I doubt whether the new equipment would withstand such conditions. I like older machines – FitFarmer said , adding that old Polish machines have a soul and they are cheap to repair. Tomek Klimkowski, the most popular farmer in Świętokrzyskie, echoed him: – It is worth taking care of these machines, even though the years of their splendour are long gone. Yet they make the history of the Polish countryside. Plus, you never know when they'll come in handy – emphasised.

A representative of the city, known as Magda Traktormania online, spoke about the beginnings of her online activity. – The presence of farmers in the network and their activity, just like those present here, certainly positively impacts the entire environment. By setting up my channels, I wanted people from the city to be more aware of the farmers' work and where food comes from. Unfortunately, all the time I meet people who think that milk is from a box . Thus they underestimate farming professions – said Magda Urbaniak.

– Compared to the Poznań expo, here you can see that the event has a large magnitude – Sebastian Staniewski from Wielkopolska spoke about this year's exhibition. – It is worth visiting Agrotech. Visiting the exhibition and all the expo halls, you see plethora of modern equipment, mee experts abundance too – added Tomasz Klimkowski.

Online influencers also talked about their dreams and interests. FitFarmer, apart from being a farmer, is also good at martial arts. – It is not easy to reconcile work in the field with systematic training, but if well planned, it is still doable  – he said, adding that his dream is to fight in one of the professional organisations. – Maybe this year, or next year, this dream will come true – finished.

The meeting ended with photo opportunities. Then, queues lined up for influencers - everyone could talk for a while.
