?? LAMMA: Has the Tyre-Kicking Teenager Grown Up? ?? As the UK’s leading agricultural machinery show, LAMMA has long been a hub for farmers, suppliers, and innovators across the sector. But is the event evolving to meet the changing needs of its audience? In our latest blog, we explore whether the perception of LAMMA as a playground for 'tyre-kicking teenagers' has shifted. From high-tech demonstrations to meaningful business conversations, we ask: ?? Has LAMMA matured alongside its audience? ?? How can events like this add real value to the agricultural community? ?? What do exhibitors and attendees need to maximize their time at these events? At Grounded Research, we know that understanding audience behavior is key to making any event a success. Whether it’s farmers looking to make informed investments or exhibitors striving to stand out, the insights are vital. Check out the blog to join the discussion and see how LAMMA continues to shape the future of UK agriculture: https://lnkd.in/eitZjpPr What do you think? Is LAMMA moving in the right direction, or is there more work to do? Let us know in the comments below! #Agriculture #LAMMA2025 #FarmingInnovation #MarketResearch #GroundedResearch

? ???? ?? Amandine Julien from the French Horse and Riding Institute and responsible for Work Package 1 of EUnetHorse shares some updates from the first year of the project: ?Work Package 1 focuses on structuring networks to improve information exchange in the equine industry at European and national levels ??????. ?National and European Advisory Boards were established to guide the project and connect it to industry governance ????. ? TANet (trainers and advisors network) was created and launched in April 2024 ????. ? Cross-visits are designed to encourage exchanges between farmers and experts, and to discover practices and solutions already implemented which could be extended across Europe. Two cross-visits have been already organized in France and Germany, and the next one will be in Poland ??????. Project funded by the European Commission ????. #eunethorse #improvingresilienceofequinefarms Institut fran?ais du cheval et de l'équitation - IFCE l Acta les instituts techniques agricoles l Mont-le-Soie l Natural Resources Institute Finland / Luonnonvarakeskus l University of Helsinki l Justus Liebig University Giessen l Polish Horse Breeders Association l Institute of Human Genetics, Polish Academy of Sciences l FeedInov CoLab l Centro Tecnolóxico da Carne l UPV/EHU l Fundatia ADEPT Transilvania l Landwirtschaftskammer Niedersachsen l WBF-Agroscope I Chambre régionale d'Agriculture Grand Est

Climate crops team members Dragana Miladinovi?, Ana Marjanovi? Jeromela, Sandra Cvejic attended?"Conference on raising awareness and strengthening enforcement of plant breeders rights in the Western Balkans" yesterday in Belgrade. This event was supported by Netherlands Agricultural Network and Naktuinbouw. It provided us insights into the significance of a harmonized PBR system. A full legislative framework for the proper functioning of the PBR system was discussed with participants who exchanged their best practices. Conference covered topics like benefits of plant variety protection implementation, DUS examination, and experiences of the private sector in the region. We're excited to apply this knowledge to our work and contribute to the protection of plant breeders' rights in the region. We extend our gratitude for inspiring lectures and organization of this event to Yolanda Huerta, Dirk Theobald, Mila Mirkovic, Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Serbia.

I Was Wrong 2 years ago, when I first started analyzing thoroughbred pedigrees in international markets, I thought it was all about finding the most successful families. Wow, was I wrong. Here's what I've learned since: Lesson 1: Local Adaptations Matter Pedigrees that excel in one region might not perform well in another due to differences in racing surfaces, climate and training styles. Local adaptability is key. Lesson 2: Diverse Genetic Pools Create Opportunities Expanding into international markets has shown me the value of integrating diverse genetic traits, which can enhance robustness and performance potential beyond traditional pedigrees. Lesson 3: Cultural Insights are Crucial Understanding the cultural nuances of breeding and racing in different countries can significantly influence breeding choices and strategies. What works as a strategy in one market may not resonate in another due to differing industry practices and preferences. Just goes to show: you can't possibly know until you start.

? ??? Marlene Addes, the coordinator of EUnetHorse European project and the national facilitator for France ???? shares important insights about the advancement of the project: The week of May 21 to 24 ??, the 15 European partners (universities, research centers, agricultural chambers, breeders associations, technical institutes, etc.), farmers, experts and stakeholders from the 9 countries involved in the project met together for the second European workshop to pool the solutions identified at national level ????. Solutions were grouped and accordingly codified within previously identified 9 priority needs ????.?? ? These numerous solutions will then be sorted in the coming weeks by the project partners: same solutions identified in different partner countries will be grouped together and a preselection will be made depending on their availability ??????. The second phase of the project is thus approaching its end, which will take place in June after the final match making between the needs and the solutions ??.? ? ?? The next step will be the evaluation of the solutions. The solutions with the highest level of technological and scientific maturity ???? (i.e. those that are ready to be implemented on farms) will be evaluated starting at the end of the year. Those enabling farms to become more resilient and efficient across the three thematic areas (socio-economics ??, equine well-being and health ????, and environmental sustainability ??) of the project will only be selected.?

Last week Kingman Ag was able to test its driverless tractor solution in olives.?Thanks to Jim Lipman, Lizandro Magana, Logan Chapman, and California Olive Ranch for the invitation to work in your fields. The solution worked flawlessly, and we are confident in offering services and solutions to olive growers throughout California’s Central Valley.?In the video, we are utilizing Azcal Management Co's John Deere 5090GN tractor retrofitted with Kingman Ag’s driverless solution and pulling a mower owned by California Olive Ranch.?The tractor was a little undersized for the mower but Kingman Ag can retrofit any sized orchard or vineyard tractor for field operations.?It is always exciting to work with a new crop! *In case anyone was concerned, we measured the tractor, which was dead center in the row.?The Olive trees grow a little differently on one side than the other due to the orientation of the row and its relation to the sun. https://lnkd.in/g6hT4n9F #precisionag #agtechnolgy #agrobotics #aginnovation
