2023 Farmer Survey

Have your say! We’d like to understand how we can better provide you with the tools and resources you need. If you are based in the UK, we would appreciate if you could take a few minutes to complete our 2023 farmer survey and share your insights to help us shape our communications so they reach you at the time when you need them most. It will take just five minutes to complete, and there are more than 500 Corteva beanies and dog leads to win in a prize draw for anyone who takes part.

Updated sprayer hygiene and winter maintenance advice launched: Last week we launched an updated best practice advice video highlighting the benefits of good sprayer hygiene. The video is presented by independent spray application specialist Tom Robinson and farm foreman Andrew Myatt. It has been created with operators in mind, showing in detail how to dismantle, replace and reassemble the wearing parts of the sprayer that require attention during winter maintenance. There is a main video, together with a series of shorts, depending on the time operators have available. The videos include Corteva’s Inatreq™ best practice application advice.
