The countdown is on…
FAR’s annual Crops Expo is approaching fast and planning is now well underway to ensure that our biggest and most popular field event runs smoothly and has something to offer something for everyone.
Amongst the plots on show this year will be trials on the effect of N on milling wheat, late season management of ryegrass, managing white clover bulk and the efficacy of new fungicides on barley. Project manager Richard Chynoweth says all the autumn sown trial plots are looking good and the spring sown ones are establishing well.
“The white clover came through the winter particularly well and is showing a lot of early season growth. This is ideal for us as we are investigating ways of manipulating bulk. The cultivation trial, demonstrating ways of moving from grass to linseed will also be very interesting.”
Also on show will be trials from platinum agronomy sponsors PGG Wrightson, Dow Agrosciences, Agronica, Syngenta, Bayer Crop Science, and BASF, and of course, demonstrations by platinum machinery sponsors CASE IH, Power Farming and CB Norwood.
As in previous years there will be a mixture of scheduled talks and demonstrations as well as plenty of time to view sponsors’ sites and chat to presenters one on one. The field day will conclude at 5.30pm followed by drinks and a spit roast dinner. A full programme and entry tickets will be sent to all levy payers and industry subscribers in the coming weeks.
This event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors.
