September 4 - September 5
Potato Days UK, a brand new two-day agricultural event, will be held on Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th September 2024 at Nocton in Lincolnshire – at the heart of the Dyson Farming business. Aimed primarily at UK and Irish farmers and growers, Potato Days UK will attract exhibitors from across the potato production value chain.
Dr. Lars Huf of the DLG said “We have listened carefully to the market and are delighted to bring Potato Days to Lincolnshire. Nocton Farm is an ideal location, accessible from across the UK and Ireland, and an excellent showcase for many aspects of innovative, research-led, arable farming.
We are very pleased to be working with key industry partners, including GB Potatoes, and are confident that this is going to be an exciting and successful new event“.
Key features of Potato Days are live, field-scale, demonstrations of cultivation, harvesting and crop handling, working on around 15 ha of crops that are being specially grown for the event. In addition to indoor and outdoor exhibitor stands, trial plots showing new varieties and agronomy practices.
A particular focus on agritech, research and innovation will run through the event, with a programme of talks, presentations and networking opportunities taking place over both days.
“As well as being able to see the latest potato growing machinery at work, visitors will be able to learn about the latest trends and issues affecting the industry. Potato Days will offer an ideal knowledge exchange and learning opportunity for all our visitors“ he added.
