AHDB looks for new Scottish potato demo farm

The AHDB is looking for a Scottish potato grower to host its first demo farm north of the border, with the aim of sharing new ideas in spud growing. “The SPot [Strategic Potato] Farm is a unique concept that improves the links between evidence-based science and practical activity on-farm,” says project lead and AHDB Potatoes’ technical executive, Claire Hodge. “We’re seeking an innovative grower to work with us to challenge conventional working practices and, using proven research, demonstrate how potato growers can benefit from applying beneficial adjustments to commercial growing systems.” More
