AHDB announces new Scottish Strategic Potato Farm

Bruce Farms in Perthshire has been announced as the location for the new AHDB Strategic Potato Farm project, which aims to be of benefit to all of Scotland’s potato growers. The SPot Farm, as it will be known, is a practical, farmer-driven project which aims to give growers the opportunity to examine and discuss new techniques and research. Claire Hodge, Edinburgh based Knowledge Transfer Manager at AHDB Potatoes explained more about this new initiative: “Back in February we were delighted to be able to announce, alongside the Scottish Government, joint funding to bring our SPot Farm initiative to Scotland.” The search was then on to find a suitable farm. We can now announce that Bruce Farms has agreed to host the project located, where we believe, should be accessible and relevant to all Scottish potato growers.” More
