Performance Live

Sustainable, scalable, cost-effective benchmarking

Farm benchmarking increases understanding and improves crop performance. Previous initiatives like YEN and Farm Bench demonstrated the value of benchmarking but crop performance but ultimately struggled to find a sustainable operating model.

Performance Live aims to use satellite data to build a more cost-effective, sustainable and scalable crop benchmarking system.

Soil-1

High-Capacity Composting

Quantifying the benefit of compost

Using manures can be impractical and lead to nutrient losses to air and water. Composting material first makes it easier to handle and can contribute to better soil health.

This project is testing a new compostmer that can cope with high volumes of manure and agronomically testing the output for crop yields and soil health.

Yorkshire Crop Nutrition Club

Testing which tools can improve crop nutrition decisions

There are an ever increasing number of tools promising to save fertiliser or increase yield through a range of sensing, measurement, data analytics and forecasting technologies. But independent results from on-farm trials and usage are limited.

The Crop Nutrition Club is a collaborative projects with farmers testing new technology and sharing what works.
