Geared for change
10th December 2020
With a focus on environmentally-friendly products, Martin Lishman says it is well-placed to help growers embrace the ever-increasing emphasis on sustainable farming.
Bourgault Tillage Tools from Martin Lishman are a popular choice for farmers looking to retain soil health during drilling.
A post-EU world looming on the horizon and environmental issues have created a theme of uncertainty throughout the farming community.
That said, the recently announced Agriculture Act 2020, and more specifically, the Environmental Land Management scheme (ELMS), represent a positive step forward, according to Lincolnshire-based Martin Lishman Ltd. A plan that highlights objectives such as better water quality and soil health, reduced flooding and tackling the effects of climate change, represents both challenges and opportunities.
Martin Lishman says it is in a good position to embrace future changes with its range of specialist agricultural equipment. The company has been meeting change with innovation for over 45 years, with the premise of environmentally friendly, low-cost investment to reduce post-harvest waste and ensure growers to get the most out of their investments.
Products including energy efficient crop storage and monitoring systems, soil and water testing kits, as well as the Bourgault Tillage Tools range that brings many soil health benefits, are geared towards a sustainable future for environmentally friendly farming.
Managing director Gavin Lishman comments: “For a long time we have been supplying farmers with tools to help meet the objectives ELMS has been put in place to achieve. We’re delighted to see that environmental impacts are a focal point for the future as this is a big area of concern for us and one of the driving factors behind our products.”
