Direct Drill Demonstrations
will take place
on both days, 12 machinery manufacturers
illustrating
seeding directly into standing cover crop with minimal soil disturbance.
Paul Cherry, Host Farmer: “The Government’s stated ambition for the
future of food, farming and the environment is that public money will be spent
on public goods that enhance natural capital. The new Environmental Land
Management System will bring in a new era for farming. For any farmer looking to adapt to this
scenario whilst maintaining viability as a food producer, Groundswell is the
place to be.”
“Groundswell is a unique agricultural show in the fact that you can
spend a day learning the principles of Conservation Agriculture, whilst also
engaging with the organisations who can help make it a reality. Groundswell
offers a welcoming environment for two days of information exchange with some
of the world's most experienced "soil caretakers" - the farmers,
scientists and the organisations who all have a role in shaping the future of
UK farming.”
