We are delighted to announce we will be part of a number of summer events hosted by The James Hutton Institute this year details of these can be found below.

Arable Scotland 2023, 4 July, 9.00 am to 4.00 pm

Come and be inspired by arable innovation at Scotland’s premier arable event. Arable Scotland is a free, day long event taking place on 4th July, 2023. This is a chance for key players in food production, from farmers and agronomists to machinery and AgriTech suppliers, and to processors and distillers, to demonstrate and discuss industry issues such as innovative and sustainable farming.

Arable Scotland has something for everyone, providing knowledge and inspiration for farmers to take steps towards a more sustainable future. We’ll be featuring talks and trade stands focussing on knowledge and solutions for the arable industry.

Arable Scotland is supported and promoted by The James Hutton Institute, and partnered with Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) and the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). We organise Arable Scotland each year and are here to promote learning and agricultural innovation which can ultimately contribute towards better sustainable farming practices. Let us help you take the next step towards this goal. For more information visit www.arablescotland.org.uk

Potatoes in Practice 2023, 10 August, 9.00 am to 3.30pm

Potatoes in Practice is the largest field-based potato event in the UK. The event brings together variety demonstrations, research and trade exhibits in one place making it an essential date in the potato industry calendar.

In the field, you'll find commercial breeders showcasing the latest varieties, agronomists demonstrating what's new in crop protection and researchers discussing their most recent findings, all on hand to share their knowledge and give advice. And of course, no field event would be complete without machinery - both moving and static.

Potatoes in Practice is set to take place in person as a field event on Thursday 10 August at Balruddery Farm, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5LL.

The event is organised and hosted by the James Hutton Institute in partnership with SRUC (Scotland's Rural College) and Agrii. The event is also supported by media partner Potato Review
