Did you see cover crops and do you sense that they are becoming a topic? Or which hot topic did you sense, besides big tires & Precision farming?

Saw both cover and companion crops - you had to seek them out but both were there

Which companies...? I only saw plots of bird margins (Kings) but by Thursday afternoon most of the stand holders outside had given up due to the rain..


DSV had some cover crops and I think the companion crops were Niel Fullers but were not very well labeled

Ther no N oats and clover were very impressive and not lacking N at all

Neil didn't have a stand , from what I can gather, he was originally going to but didn't for various reasons , he has a tie in to Agricure, so they had it instead,

However some of his trials were there namely cover cropping and undersowingwith crimson clover, potatoes, and various trials with biologicals,

I turned up at 2.30 on Thursday and he took me round very quickly and i think other people were taken around, but it was on a more ad hoc , way

I walked past the Agricure stand without realising that Neil Fuller was present...He was one of the main reasons I went to Cereals and I left the site thinking that he was not there....

I would have liked to speak to him but it was badly set up really and I have no idea what he looks like to approach

He would be a top choice as a BASE - UK speaker ??
