England FWAG: Links with business and environmental partners
Bayer Crop Science
FWAG has been working in partnership with Bayer CropScience for the past 8 years. During this time FWAG have been working with Bayer staff at both their Field Trial Stations near Cambridge.
Each of the farms cover 20ha of land but have huge differences in soil type, layout, history and landscape.
The Chishill Field Station is situated on a gently undulating clay plateau to the south west of Cambridge. Whilst the surrounding agricultural landscape is very open the field station is bounded by mature hedgerows with trees giving the site an enclosed feel. More...
