Independent advice, information and support for arable farmers

ADAS Farming Association membership provides independent strategic technical support to help you improve your farm productivity. We put current research into perspective and offer clear guidance on forthcoming agronomy decisions for our members. We also cover non-agronomy topics, such as biofuels, waste regulations, etc.
Conferences and meetings will cover various topics and can be attended by any member. All our events and publications will be allocated the appropriate BASIS and NRoSO points.
