Precision Farming Event to showcase latest equipment

The annual Precision Farming Event on the 6th of March will showcase 'the latest equipment and techniques' from the UK's leading farming companies.

Visitors will be able to see the latest systems first hand and compare equipment from all major UK technology suppliers.

As well as a full technical trade exhibition, the event will also run a full seminar programme offering valuable information on a range of topics from industry-leading experts and farmers.

The seminars will provide visitors hands-on examples of how equipment can be employed to improve accuracy, cut costs and boost margins.

With a focus on putting precision farming into practice, leading farm managers will be explaining how they put the technology to work in their operations.

Precision farming specialist and event partner SOYL will be presenting its ‘performance mapping’ techniques that have been developed to simplify and enable the easy use of yield map data.

Many farms are now sitting on a gold mine of yield map data and the PM Algorithm creates one simple map that sums up multiple harvests. This map also links to roadmap for further investigation.

SOYL’s presentation will combine an introduction to how it works followed by a practical farm example.

The events Crop Protection partner is the world’s leading chemical company BASF who are proud to be supporting the event and will be showcasing the best crop protection solutions alongside its decision support tools to help farmers and advisors implement precision farming.

The BASF technical team will also be on hand on the day to advise and help.
