What’s involved; As part of the farming community, you are invited by BASF to an innovative event to launch the new cereal fungicide, Revystar® XE. Eight events will be held throughout the UK, bringing farmers together to discuss their challenges and plans for spring 2020. Our Kent Real Results Roadshow will take place at The Hop Farm, a 160ha farm with the largest collection of oasthouses in the world (a building for drying hops). Hosted by cereal and fruit farmer Richard Budd, the day will also be joined by farmer Tom Sewell.

Farmers involved in BASF’s Real Results Circle will share their field trial results from using Revystar® XE on their farms last spring. You’ll hear first-hand how they got on and what they thought. Soil health expert, Professor Jenni Dungait will also be giving her advice on how to manage soils following the wet conditions, and ADAS will share their independent research into Revystar® XE‘sperformance.

At over 450 years old, the venue was known as The Whitbread Hop Farm until 1997, a working farm and brewery. Based on the farm's original production of hops, a museum has been developed featuring exhibits and a film about growing and harvesting hops.

The Real Results Roadshow event will take place in The Dray, a function room that looks out on to fields and green space.
