Details:  With harvest soon to be upon us, the final meeting of the CTF Groups will be held at the CTF concept farm on the 15th of November. At the meeting we will:

  • Walk through each of the CTF treatments to evaluate the effectiveness of sowing methods at the site, with both narrow and wide-row spacing and a number of forms of guidance tested

    • Rowan Wardle and Jeremy White

  • Look at the Landmark trials on the site

    • Ash Perkins

  • Examine a soil pit at the site and discuss the effect of compaction on infiltration and soil management issues

    • Renick Peries, Mark Imhof, and Louisa Ferrier

  • Guest speaker and forum to discuss the shift to CTF, stubble management, and the use of Precision Agriculture in a dynamic cropping system
