The programme featured over 100 events and activities: Attractions included a 10,000 m2 maze of maize, the World Ploughing Finals, a big wheel and a giant ear of corn planted with the main local crops. There was also a full range of livestock of all kinds of breeds (cows, horses, pigs, sheep etc.), activities for all ages including 40 fun and educational workshops on the region's farming industry, many free play areas for children, agricultural machinery with threshers, balers and traditional ploughing, rural sporting activities and a regional produce market "Les Halles de Jim". As part of Frescaty Plateau's conversion from airbase into development site, Metz Métropole had a 300 m2 stand at the event, presenting the site's three main development projects: the Business Park, the Domaine de Frescaty and the Agrobiopole.
