LAMMA 2022: Frontier to introduce new app and support for sustainable farming practices 

Frontier Agriculture will return to LAMMA’s 40^th anniversary show with the launch of the new MySOYL mobile app, as well as expert talks on funding opportunities and advice linked to sustainable farming.

Visitors to the event on 4^th and 5^th May will be able to see live demonstrations of the new app, developed by Frontier’s digital team and its precision farming division, SOYL. In it, farmers can see field and crop data on-the-go as well as use a range of scouting tools to log farm features, crop performance metrics and agri-environment projects.

Its development comes as a direct result of Frontier’s commitment to investing in more digital solutions for farmers, particularly as a means of supporting sustainable crop production practices and evidencing activity for compliance purposes. Any observations captured seamlessly sync with the MySOYL desktop application in Frontier’s MyFarm platform, which will also be on display via interactive screens.

Frontier’s sustainability and digital experts will be joined on stand by advisors from SOYL, as well as specialists from its environmental division, Kings Crops. Together they will collectively share Frontier’s seven-step sustainable crop production model with visitors, within which digital tools have a key role.

Expert talks: securing agri-environment funding and using technology to measure progress
