Day fifty five..
A trip!!! Today we went on a trip to the 'precision farming - technology' event at the Peterborough show ground.
Trade stands included Cleveland crop sprayers (Arag Precision) - gps guidance systems, Garford Farm Machinery - robotic mechanical weed control, HGCA the home grown cereals association - providing information and research on improving field variation in nitrogen fertiliser requirements and cereals all round needs and tec5 uk ltd - providers of state of the art products for detector array based optical spectroscopy (?).
In addition to the trade hall various seminars took place throughout the day such as 'precision nutrient management - a practical viewpoint' whereby agronomist Ian Matts discussed the trials and product development at Yara uk ltd whereby today's farming techniques are incorporating precision farming in to everyday agronomy practice.
Perhaps a show for those with a specific interest in this sector of agriculture!
