The Horizon SPX strip-till system combines the process of conventional tillage with the soil-protecting advantages of no-till by disturbing only the portion of the soil that is to contain the seed row.

The Horizon PPX has been designed to work in conjunction with Precision Planting technology, this partnership ensures that every seed planted has the best possible start in life, ultimately increasing the chances of it developing into a profitable plant.

The Horizon DSX is the ultimate direct seed drill. Designed and developed using lessons learned from generations of hands-on experience and featuring cutting-edge technology, resulting in a machine that effectively delivers accurate, consistent seed placement and with minimal soil disturbance on every pass.

There is a huge skills gap in the UK workforce when it comes to data science and artificial intelligence. The Government’s Digital Skills strategy estimates that within the next 20 years, 90 per cent of all jobs will require some element of digital skills, with data science pinpointed as a priority area.

Gain the skills and knowledge to keep feeding the world. As the population grows so do the challenges we face, and the need for creative solutions from agricultural specialists.

On a national and international scale there is an increasing need to reconcile the need for increased food production with the need for conservation of natural resources. There is also a need for people to understand and deal with complex land situations such as within agricultural systems.

This course has a mechanical engineering core with a specialism in the design and development of agricultural machinery and systems. The courses cover everything from the principles of the design of agricultural machines, soil/implement interaction and irrigation and drainage, through to advancing technologies in the fields of precision farming, agricultural robotics and renewable energy.

Efficient crop production remains the key to sustained and effective use of the rural resource. However, over recent years crop management systems have undergone considerable change. The emphasis has shifted away from purely commercial objectives, and modern crop managers must increasingly justify inputs and assess the impact of their activities on the environment. These new demands are complex and require highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals to manage them successfully.

With around 70 per cent of land in the UK devoted to primary food production, agriculture continues to be the mainstay of the rural economy. However, in addition to the science and technology associated with animal and crop production, the modern farm manager must manage an increasingly diversified business and embrace a range of responsibilities for enhancing the environment, integrating production within the food chain and maintaining rural communities.
