Demo Day – Soils and Water Management
We’re taking technology out to the farm.
Join us at Elveden Estate as we take a walk round the farm with Managing Director Andrew Blenkiron. This event will be focusing on solutions for soil and water management; vital in the driest part of the UK.
We’ll then be hearing from a selection of technologists either through demonstrations or pitches, focused around innovations in this area. We’ll round out the day with some structured networking.
You can expect to meet other farmers interested in technologies to support soils health and water management alongside technologists with both commercially available solutions and opportunities to partner on tests or trials of new products.
Is your technology ready to be deployed by farmers, or are you looking to trial a new product infield? If you’re working in soil moisture, irrigation, or water management, this is your chance to demonstrate impact on the farm.

Agenda
During this guided farm walk, Andrew will share a snapshot of where they are today, outlining their current soil and water management practices and the goals they are working towards. The walk will highlight the key challenges the farm is seeking to address through technology, while also giving insight into the tools and approaches already in place.
