As well as the series of talks, presentations and breakout sessions the attendees also receieved a tour of the Harper Adams Univeristy Hands Free Hectare & Farm facilities. It was fantastic to hear that so many who attended learnt a lot but also made valuable connections in the field.

This is one workshop I very much enjoyed this 2019. Great discussions, great minds, profound economists and a blend of varieties of mind blowing methodologies!. I learnt 'precision' - how fascinating to know about autonomous machinery @AgriTechEcon @HarperAdamsUni ?? pic.twitter.com/uLj1ziF3cf
