The event kicked off at Cribit Seeds in West Montrose, where Quentin Martin provided a tour of their spring cereal plots and an engaging discussion on barley production and markets. Visit Cribit Seeds’ website for more information on the farm and their operations.
The tour continued at the nearby Winterose Farms, where Dennis and Helen Martin hosted a lively discussion of solar energy systems in agriculture. Dennis gave an overview of their solar tracker, which formed part of the Green Energy program in 2009.
The evening wrapped up with refreshments and casual conversation in the Martins’ barn, allowing attendees to connect and reflect on the topics discussed.
