Killgerm’s much-anticipated On the Farm Day returned last week with resounding success, this year taking place at the picturesque Hurcott Farm in Ilminster.
Under clear blue skies, pest professionals gathered for a full day of hands-on learning, networking, and some well-earned food and fun.
Supported by BASF, the event featured five practical, expert-led sessions designed to enhance field knowledge and operational skills:
- Grain Store Baiting – Duncan Bosomworth;
- Environmental Risk Assessments – Tim Bloomer;
- Covered and Protective Baiting – Alex Wade;
- Mole Control Techniques – David Archer; and
- Red Tractor talk- Kate Cross.
Attendees enjoyed a sizzling BBQ breakfast and lunch, with bacon butties and burgers fresh off the grill. The day wrapped up with a refreshing treat – ice cream all around.
Killgerm said that feedback from delegates was positive, praising both the quality of the training and the relaxed, interactive environment.
