Scottish Society for Crop Research SSCR Winter Meeting 2025

Scottish Society for Crop Research (SSCR) Winter Meeting 2025

Connecting researchers, farmers, agronomists, and industry professionals to advance crop research and sustainable agriculture in Scotland.

The SSCR is a non-profit society that connects researchers, farmers, agronomists, and industry professionals to advance crop research and sustainable agriculture in Scotland. It operates through sub-committees focused on: combinable and energy crops; soft fruit; and potatoes.

The introduction of this Winter Meeting aims to serve as a late-afternoon, informal, and social (‘high-tea’) opportunity for members to meet face-2-face and discuss the activities of the Society. It is also an important opportunity for the Management Committee and Trustee’s to hear directly the perspectives of its members – since these are critical to informing future applied-research goals.

The meeting is free for members, and potential members too. Members who can attend are encouraged to bring along other farmers or farming-linked stakeholders who may also consider joining the society.
