The UK Agri-Tech Centre is running a farm tour and networking lunch at Newton Farm in Brecon on 8 October to see and hear about the implementation of agri-tech in a mixed farming system.
Hosted by the Roderick family from 10am-2.45pm, there will be demonstrations of precision technologies, industry speakers and a panel session, offering a valuable update on practical, high-impact agri-tech currently available to British farmers.
Visitors will have the chance to learn about a number of projects involving the Roderick family and technologies currently in use on the farm, including:
- AI and remote sensing to track and measure biodiversity
- On-animal sensors for health monitoring in beef rearing and finishing
- Autonomous and in-field weighing of sheep and cattle for effective livestock management
Also in attendance on the day is the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre for a demonstration of their autonomous tractor in conjunction with a local machinery manufacturer.
Following the networking lunch, the day will conclude with a panel session featuring industry leaders who will discuss how technology can make farming more efficient and resilient.
The event takes place at Newton Farm, Scethrog, Brecon, LD3 7YG. For more information, click here.
