U.K.’s Largest Lowland Estate Announces Precision Farming Partnership
The U.K.’s largest lowland estate has struck a deal with a precision farming firm to reduce food waste in the production stages, writes Rachel Martin at AgriLand. Elveden, a world-class producer and purveyor of local and regional food excellence, has announced a new partnership with Angus-based precision farming firm SoilEssentials.
The 22,500-acre country estate includes over 10,000 acres of farmland – thought to be the largest ring-fenced arable farm in lowland Britain. The estate is part of the larger farming portfolio including three other sites farmed under separate farming agreements, bringing the farmed area to over 19,000 acres. The land is all managed with a keen eye on environmental and sustainable targets, working in harmony with their farming practices.
It will work with SoilEssentials to use potato growth modelling software Tuberzone and Tuberzone CropCast to better manage crops for optimum size distribution and crop value, therefore, reducing food waste.
