Are you ready to take your place at the forefront of agricultural progress? The British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN) has launched its ‘Lead the Field’ campaign, calling on growers to join four Defra-funded projects and help shape the future of UK agriculture.

 

BOFIN trialists don’t just follow – they lead the field. By taking part in funded, on-farm trials, they play a hands-on role in testing new ideas, influencing research, and driving innovation, all while being paid for their contribution.

 

Whether you’re a farmer or someone who works with and/or supports farmers, this free one-hour webinar is your chance to:

  • Learn about BOFIN and its four current projects
  • Get up to speed on the latest opportunities – we are on the hunt for 20 more Pulse Pioneers to join the NCS project
  • Hear from experienced BOFIN trialists including Pulse Pioneer Anna Wylie
  • Ask questions and explore how you (or your farmer clients) can get involved

Everyone with an interest in on-farm trials and farmer-led innovation is welcome.
