Scottish Society for Crop Research (SSCR) Winter Meeting 2025
Connecting researchers, farmers, agronomists, and industry professionals to advance crop research and sustainable agriculture in Scotland.
The SSCR is a non-profit society that connects researchers, farmers, agronomists, and industry professionals to advance crop research and sustainable agriculture in Scotland. It operates through sub-committees focused on: combinable and energy crops; soft fruit; and potatoes.
The introduction of this Winter Meeting aims to serve as a late-afternoon, informal, and social (‘high-tea’) opportunity for members to meet face-2-face and discuss the activities of the Society. It is also an important opportunity for the Management Committee and Trustee’s to hear directly the perspectives of its members – since these are critical to informing future applied-research goals.
The meeting is free for members, and potential members too. Members who can attend are encouraged to bring along other farmers or farming-linked stakeholders who may also consider joining the society.
