Nick August
Nick has been involved in farming all his life, growing up on the family farm located high on The Cotswolds, which he now owns and manages.
I am passionate about the land and has been part of the growing number of farmers to embrace conservation agriculture. I have been using Precision Farming and Controlled Traffic Farming methods on his farm in Oxfordshire for the past 20 years and is now bringing this technology to the forefront of agriculture industries around the world.
With the dawn of The Internet of Things (IoT) it is apparent how advanced our farming methods and data systems are compared with other industries, which gives me the opportunity to expand my expertise in this area.
"Conservation Agriculture has proven potential to improve crop yields, while improving the long-term environmental and financial sustainability of farming."
