“Please take this opportunity to view the FAR and industry trials, and hear up-to-date research findings from New Zealand and overseas experts. The programme is broad, touching on seed, cereal and potato productivity, biosecurity and environmental issues around water and nutrients,” he adds.

Pyke noted that an international perspective will come from Nicole Anderson, Assistant Professor and Field Crops Extension Agent at Oregon State University, who will discuss some of the parallels between seed research here and in the USA. Each talk will be presented in the morning, and again in the afternoon, and the day will conclude with a complimentary dinner.
