For over 200 farmers, growers and advisors who attended the 2023 Morley Innovation Day there was little risk of leaving the event without something seen or heard to inspire, steer or confirm decision-making.
Anna Wyeth, a third-year undergraduate student in the School of Environmental Science at UEA, came to Morley for a conversation with TMAF Farm Manager David Jones.
Can you point to a pivotal moment in your agricultural career? TMAF Farm Manager David Jones can. For him it was taking part in the training in farm management offered by the course supported by the John Edgar Trust. The search is on for the next group of participants and he extends an offer of help to interested applicants.
The Morley Innovation Day in Norfolk showcases the latest arable advice and research from UK agribusiness and research organisations. This free to attend event is open to all will take place on 22 June 2023.
Visitors to Morley and people who live locally are noticing a new arrival in one of our fields. Dr Georgina Barrett, the research scientist from BBRO overseeing the project hosted and funded by TMAF, describes what’s going on, why and how.
There’s integrity in independence. That’s the view of independent agronomist and TMAF Trustee and Deputy Chair Sue Lord. That’s why, she explains, she was happy to write an article for the recent edition of Beet Review magazine.
Three days can make a big difference. That’s the view of independent agronomist Harry Cotton. He is brimming with examples of what he gained from being one of eight selected for the latest John Forrest Award Communications Skills course which is co-funded by TMAF.
TMAF demonstrated again at its annual meeting how it maintains its role at the heart of agricultural development. Illustrations of the research it is supporting was combined with discussion of key current issues such as measuring farming’s real carbon footprint and asking what the science of regeneration actually looks like.
