I have kindly been invited by Agrii to attend an ‘Early Spring Agronomy Discussion’ event at one of their iFarm’s located at Stow Longa in Cambridgeshire.
The event will run both a morning and afternoon session starting at 9.30AM and 12.45PM respectively. A range of discussion topics with Agrii experts will be covered out in the field including:
‘Cover crops’ our experiences to date on heavy land in a blackgrass situation.
– Steve Corbett, Agrii Trials Manager
Cultivation strategies, drilling dates and the use of cover crops across rotation choices including Winter wheat, Spring wheat, Winter Oats, Winter beans, Fallow and their impact on blackgrass levels.
– Colin Lloyd, Agrii Head of Agronomy
Nutrition programmes across winter wheat and spring wheat drilled late autumn plus spring wheat drilled in March – a new piece of work for Stow Longa in 2015/16.
– David Felce, Agrii Regional Technical Advisor
Agrii have also offered 5 more places to this invite only event for fellow TFF members who might be interested in coming along and learning more on the above topics. If you are interested in coming to what I am sure will be a very interesting event please reply on here.
As a farmer who farms heavy land and now that I am venturing into cover crops more and more each year I have a personal interest in the work that Agrii are undertaking to see whether the experiences and results found from the trial work and the knowledge of their team of experts can be transferred onto my farm and into my fields through events such as this.
