Watch live: Arable Horizons soil science lecture

People from across UK agriculture will gather at Rothamsted Research Centre this evening (Thursday, 26 January) for the second in the Farmers Weekly series of Arable Horizons Interactive lectures.

The project aims to build a conversation around the most important topics in the arable sector, with some of the UK’s top experts speaking on topics from crop genetics to climate change resilience.

Tonight’s talk will focus on UK soil science and how exciting research projects could affect the way we farm in the future.
