Three new Monitor Farms will be launched by AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds joining the 13 existing farms in the programme. Local growers and agronomists are invited to attend the launch events.
Ana Reynolds, AHDB head of engagement, Cereals & Oilseeds, said: “We’re really excited to be launching three new Monitor Farms to our established programme. At the heart of the programme is the demonstration of trials of new cropping or techniques in ‘real farm’ situations.
“While we encourage attendance at all Monitor Farm open days, the launch of new farms is a great time to get involved in the programme, influence the discussions and watch progress first hand.”
The three new additions will be hosting their first open days throughout the summer:
- Beverley Monitor Farm – Hall Farm, Beverley, East Yorkshire – May 31, 2023
- Norwich Monitor Farm – Crown Point Estate, Norwich, Norfolk – June 23, 2023
- Bingham Monitor Farm – Manor Farm, Bingham, Nottinghamshire – July 5, 2023
Mrs Reynolds said: “Due to the pace of change we’re experiencing in agriculture, there has never been a better time to get involved. With each farm hosting regular open meetings across the length and breadth of the UK, there’s a diverse array of expertise, farm types and systems represented.”
“There really is something for everyone, and as a free programme centred on peer-to-peer knowledge exchange, the discussion and independent results can help shape the future of your farm, as part of the wider industry.”
