Apr 7, 2016New research hub set for West Suffolk
The Eastern Agri-Tech Growth Initiative in the U.K. is funding a new Regional Research & Demonstration Hub in West Suffolk. 
The hub will be located at Elveden Farms, and will established as a Strategic Potato (SPot) Farm.
Here’s more from the Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Enterprise Partnership:
The project, coordinated and co-funded by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board’s Potatoes Division (AHDB Potatoes), has been awarded £109,273.
The site will promote improved business and agricultural productivity and resource management, alongside providing a space for knowledge exchange and collaborative working.
It’s not just about bridging the gap between research and farm practice. The real value lies in stimulating discussion,” says AHDB Knowledge Exchange Manager and project coordinator, Jenny Bashford.
“As our SPot Farm hosts, they will help us challenge conventional working practices and, using proven research, demonstrate how potato growers can benefit from applying beneficial adjustments to commercial growing systems.”
