Reading-based Farmex scooped the Award for Innovation for their system of data gathering and analysis and the judges were impressed by the projected 30 per cent improvement in productivity. “Use of innovated data analysis, ICT (Information Communication Technology) systems and the cloud data storage will hopefully encourage producers to adopt and exploit the technology,” they said.
The presentation was made by Andy Black, managing director of Springetts Brand Design Consultants at the ceremony attended by Farming Minister James Paice.
