AgriSearch, funded and managed by farmers, is committed to advancing practical research for the benefit of the farming community. At the Winter Fair, AgriSearch will highlight several key initiatives:
- Recruitment for the next phase of the flagship GrassCheck project.
- Opportunities for farmers to join Dairy, Beef, and Sheep Sectoral Advisory Committees.
- Updates on ongoing research projects, including the ZeroNsile project, studies on mycotoxins in grass silages, and the UK Dairy Carbon Network project.
- AgriSearch’s responses to NAP and CAP consultations.
- Information on PhD scholarship programmes
AgriSearch is currently reviewing how best to serve its farmer levy payers, including a review of levy rates, which have remained unchanged for the dairy sector since 1997. Farmers are encouraged to visit the stand to share their views and help shape the future of ruminant livestock research.
