Young agri-scientists have it covered, from slurry alarms to bacteriophages

YOU don’t have to be a genius to know that science and farming run hand in hand. Scientific endeavours have been very beneficial to us farmers. Look for instance at artificial insemination, or at the designs of farm buildings, or modern tractors, mowers and harvesters.

On a more basic footing, consider your Wellington boot or mobile phone. These were all created with the assistance of science. On our farms, our work is made all the easier and more comfortable by the wonders of science.
