Technology and innovation are the subject of a farm walk to be held at Cold Harbour Farm in Bishop Burton, Beverley, East Yorkshire, June 3rd.

Organised by the UK Agri-Tech Centre, the tour will be led by the Haywood family and include demonstrations of the latest innovations in the sector and interactive workshops.

Visitors will learn about a number of different technologies, ranging from soil and crop sensors to remote  data connectivity, plus the impact of innovations on-farm and the barriers to adoption.

The workshop will be led by Sarah Nightingale, knowledge exchange manager at the UK Agri-Tech Centre, where visitors can identify and highlight gaps in the development and adoption of on-farm innovation.

Adam Hayward, who owns Cold Harbour Farm in partnership with his family, said: “I think the benefit that new technology can bring is vast and the support that is available reduces the risk and cost of giving something different or untested a go on your own conditions with hopefully having a positive outcome.”
