Hartpury University’s BSc (Hons) Agriculture students triumphed in the first-ever Ceres Rural Crop Challenge, held at the prestigious Cereals 2025 event, receiving praise from judges for their industry-readiness.
Each of the six teams participating were responsible for managing a 3x10 metre plot – developing a nutrient management plan, designing a fungicide programme, and even marketing a portion of the grain. Hartpury were crowned the overall winners of the challenge.
