THREE Oxford Farming Conference scholars have been selected to represent young UK farmers at the world's leading farm machinery trade fair, Agritechnica, in Hanover in November.
Sponsored by Massey Ferguson, and in association with Germany's agricultural youth network, the Junge DLG, Robert Proud, Alice Clews and Jordan Clark will be sent on the six-day trip, which will provide networking opportunities and a different perspective on agriculture, through the DLG conference and on farm visits.
Council member, Matthew Naylor, who will be leading the trip, said: “The implementation of technology and mechanisation drives modern agriculture. The next generation of farmers needs to understand both the possibilities that lie ahead and the impact that they will have on society. This is why the OFC and DLG are delighted to provide three promising new entrants to the industry an opportunity to visit the world's premier event for agricultural mechanisation."
