HGCA’s regional technical seminars, which look to help growers and agronomists drive arable businesses forwards, start this week.

Based on the latest research findings, the Agronomy 2015 events – taking place across England and Scotland – will provide agronomic solutions for local challenges.

The first three events will take place in Scotland. These will be followed by five events in England.

Agronomy 2015 will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss the latest developments in agronomy with experts at the cutting-edge of applied research.
