Research and development
Each year we invest over £1 million into research and development through a programme of nationwide trials and wider innovation. This investment ensures our experts can deliver practical, tried and tested solutions to help farmers and the wider supply chain tackle today’s challenges with confidence.
Our close working relationships with businesses across the whole supply chain - such as R&D companies, seed breeders, nutrition businesses and grain partners combined with our practical, large-scale approach to research - means we drive continuous innovation by trialling and benchmarking new products, techniques and technologies across multiple scales and seasons.
This approach ensures Frontier’s technical experts can bring proven, forward-thinking solutions to growers.
From variety performance trials, which monitor existing varieties and screen new ones, to environmental trials where incorporating cover crops, herbal leys and legume fallows into rotations are assessed for their impact on broader land management, our research means we deliver both sustainable and profitable crop production solutions.

The value of sharing knowledge from trial work is a priority for Frontier. Our summer open days and winter meetings offer our customers the opportunity to see trials in action and gain valuable insights ready to apply in their own farm businesses.
Likewise, insights from our farmers around current crop production challenges that require further research inform our trial programme, meaning our focus is always topical.
Our summer open days are a great opportunity to see our research in action and get the latest seasonal recommendations and insights from our experts across all aspects of sustainable crop production and land management.
