Harper alumnus leads NFU Next Generation farm walk at Harper

16 January 2018

Progressive young farmers from across the West Midlands had a great time at @harperadamsuni today. They held discussions at the university’s dairy unit and viewed some of the machinery used in the hands-free hectare project. This ground-breaking project saw the university use flying drones and automated tractors to grow and harvest barley. #harperadams #agriculture #farming #farmers #farm #farmlife #nfu #nfulife #countryside #crops #barley #harvest
