Jean-Luc Poulain, president of the Agricultural Show for sixteen years, is bowing out after a 60th edition marked by the angry movement of farmers and unprecedented violence. “The passion for the show and agriculture would have pushed me to stay until the end of my third term in 2026,” he emphasizes.

‘I will devote myself to my family and my hobbies. I sold the farm that I ran with my brother to two nephews and the daughter of a friend.’
