The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) will be sponsoring this year’s Tillage-Live event which takes place on Wednesday 16th September 2015 at Croft Farms, Croft on Tees, North Yorkshire. AHDB is launching a ‘Best practice for drainage maintenance and renewal’ publication which will be available to pick up for the first time at Tillage Live. The publication describes best management practice to maximise the drainage capacity of existing systems and optimise financial returns. It covers the basic principles of drainage design and maintenance and provides guidance on soil management to maximise drainage benefits. Senior ADAS UK consultant Kirk Hill will be on hand to discuss best practice for drainage maintenance and renewal. “The popular Knowledge Trail will again provide visitors with access to valuable, in-depth advice from industry experts on a whole variety of topics. As the largest cultivation demonstration in the UK, Tillage-Live gives progressive growers the opportunity to view the latest and most innovative cultivation and seedbed preparation equipment and drills at work on large scale plots, “said organiser Duncan Russell of the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA). All the latest news about the event is available on the website www.tillage-live.uk.com including listings of all the working demonstrations and details of pre-booking (£7.50/car, compared to £10 on the day).

At Tillage-Live, AHDB will launch a publication to help you improve drainage in a cost effective way. We will also promote timely advice, developed by the Weed Resistance Action Group (WRAG), so you can respond to the real risks of glyphosate resistance developing in UK weeds. |
