Duxford Monitor Farm summer meeting

Join us for a farm walk at Duxford Monitor Farm this summer.

We look forward to welcoming you to have a look at the cropping for harvest 2021 on-farm and a discussion as we go round on:

• Nitrogen use efficiency and a look at the try-out that Tom has done this season using a range of nitrification inhibitors 

• Fungicide programmes and strategies, including a look at the AHDB ADAS Fungicide Challenge trial for this year…what strategies have the different entrants taken? How does this compare to yours on-farm – disease level, inputs, margin, yield potential?

• Carbon calculators – have you completed one yet? Hear the findings from Tom’s carbon review and discuss the best next steps for the farm to reduce emissions

• Break crops – see the break crops on farm this year including peas and oats – should OSR be considered for harvest 2022?

An opportunity to discuss current topics, thinking and happenings at your local Monitor Farm – Tom and Teresa Meadows look forward to seeing you then.
