Discover practical crop innovations in the field

During the SIMONE cross-visit in the Netherlands
5 February 2026 by
SIMONE

Within the SIMONE-project, we bring farmers, researchers and practice partners together to learn from one another. On 17 and 18 March, we invite you to a two‑day field visit at the Van den Borne Campus in the Netherlands. It is the perfect opportunity to meet fellow farmers, exchange practical experiences and gain new insights into weed control, fertilisation and crop emergence that you can immediately apply on your own farm. 


During these days, you will be standing directly in the field. You will see technology in action, follow demonstrations and receive explanations from farmers and experts who work with field trials every day. In short: a hands‑on experience that will strengthen your crop management.
