James Peck at FarmTech 2012
In January James Peck from PX Farms attended the FarmTech Conference at Edmonton in Canada as one of the Keynote Speakers. James gave two sold out speeches while there, the first entitled "Running an Agribusiness in the UK" and the second "Arable Farming - Where Next?" The latter speech was of course directly related to his Nuffield Scholarship and report, a copy of which is on this site. James was interviewed by FarmTech while at the conference and a copy of the video was posted on YouTube. You can view the interview below or on YouTube by clicking here. James profile page from the conference website can also be viewed here.
