Following on from its Crop Conferences of previous years, there’s a change in emphasis at Amazone UK later this month, away from the traditional formal seminars and crop trials visits, with just a look at some new and shiny kit in the yard, to a different format of getting that new kit dirty in the field.
The new firm’s Education, Training and Research facility at Orchard Farm, near Doncaster, provides the ideal position of being able to drive up and down, turning soil over behind and then drilling, spraying, spreading – in fact the whole Amazone kit range in use, in the field and on the same day; Thursday, May 26.
Running from 10:00 to 17:00, there’ll be machinery demonstrations throughout the day, including all of the new kit to be seen for the first time at Cereals 2016. Alongside the demonstrations of soil engaging kit, will be the Pantera 4502 self-propelled sprayer, as well as the UF and UX sprayer models, and the full spreader range on tractors and in the tramline. There will even some exceptionally well-priced, ex-demonstration machinery there to have a look at as well.
Indoors will be a full Isobus and Precision Farming Clinic, with representatives from the major electronic suppliers on hand to answer technical questions that have popped up in the field this spring. So whether it is Isobus connectivity, sensor systems, variable rate application of P&K or nitrogen, then experts will be on hand.
With thoughts turning towards the National Spreader Testing Scheme, there’ll be some spreader testing scenarios, both conventional tray testing as well as a working demonstration of the new Argus Twin radar spread pattern sensing system in the field.
Both NRoSO and BASIS CPD points will be available, and registration is by e-mail to: sales[at]amazone.co.uk, or by ringing 01302 751200.
