As a central hub for Helix, the Helix Technology Development Farm provides the opportunity to develop, trial and demonstrate the latest innovations and technologies, hosted courtesy of Andrew and William Pitts of J W Pitts & Sons, located at Whiston in Northamptonshire.
“We will aim to demonstrate these technologies by various means and not just the traditional farm open days. After all, this is about use and benefit of technologies, so technology will be used to demonstrate it,” says Hutchinsons head of Technical, Stuart Hill.
