Innovative solutions for tackling theft on farm and engaging an aging workforce in the orchard were among the creations on show at the Fieldays' Innovation Hub this week.
It's the first time the largest agricultural show in the southern hemisphere has been held at this time of the year after. It's normally in the middle of winter but was postponed due to covid settings.
Country Life's Leah Tebbutt has been speaking to some of the innovators.
