AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds Monitor Farms
AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds Monitor Farms bring together groups of like-minded farmers who wish to improve their businesses by sharing performance information and best practice around a nationwide network of host farms.
An introduction to our Monitor Farms
AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds monitor farmers host open farmer-led meetings on their farms each year to identify and share challenges and solutions.
During the three years of each Monitor Farm, every aspect of the business is scrutinised. Whether looking at soil management or machinery policy, cost implications to the farm business always take centre stage.
With a focus on making real developments in their business management, improving productivity, competitiveness and environmental management, Monitor Farms try out new ideas, all with the support of AHDB and guidance from industry experts.
