Farm walks and talks
We are regularly approached by farm cluster groups and other sector organisations to host farm walks and talks on all aspects of soil health and regenerative agriculture. Led by one of our expert consultants, these usually consist of a short introduction and a description of the objectives, before the group set off to a specific area of the farm that is of relevance to the group or organisation.
Here, the consultant will dig a soil pit, where delegates can look at soil type, root structure, and any issues identified (good and bad!), as well as learn about simple soil assessment techniques, such as visual evaluation of soil (VESS) and earthworm counts.
Depending on your requirements, the session will usually conclude with an interactive presentation and further discussion on the importance of soil health, regenerative agriculture, and the benefits of management practices on soil organic matter and soil carbon, as well as the services Terrafarmer can offer. We will, of course, answer any questions that arise during the day.
Events, conferences and workshops
Terrafarmer consultants are also in regular demand to present at local, regional, and national agricultural shows and conferences across the UK, speaking on topics such as soil health, regenerative agriculture in practice, livestock nutrition, and more.
Examples include Groundswell: The Regenerative Agriculture Festival, Rootstock Devon, and the Cornwall Real Food and Farming Conference, as well as working closely with major agricultural colleges and research departments, such as Cornwall College, the University of Plymouth, and more.
Wintex Agro soil sampling demonstrations
As UK representatives for Wintex Agro sales, service and support, we can also arrange on-site demonstrations of our state-of-the-art soil sampling and scanning equipment, including our GPS-equipped Polaris ATVs and Wintex Agro hydraulic soil samplers and scanning tools.
Our practical displays will enable you to see our soil scanning and soil sampling equipment in action, demonstrating how we are able to rapidly take highly accurate, repeatable tests at two depths at up to 60cm at the same point in each field, covering over 80ha in a day.
