North Wales farmers invited to Smart Ag trials: on-farm event at Derwydd Farm

The event forms part of a wider programme involving 16 participating farms across the region, where soil, water, climate, livestock and infrastructure sensors have been deployed to help farmers monitor conditions, manage resources, and make evidence‑based decisions. Demonstrations on the day will include a selection of LoRaWAN sensors alongside live dashboards showing real‑time readings from the Derwydd trial site.

Attendees will also be able to speak directly with technology providers and experts, as well as view the on‑farm LoRaWAN gateways and sensors deployed across the farm.

Talks from David Evershed, Wallog Farm, Ambition North Wales and UKIOT, will outline how technologies can be integrated into everyday farm operations and how the programme is supporting future opportunities for digital adoption within the region.

Target audience
The event is aimed at dairy, red meat, poultry and horticulture farms, as well as young entrants and progressive farmers interested in adopting digital tools. Local vets, advisers, consultants and supply‑chain representatives are also welcome.
