IPZ as a leading farm

From October 2021 to October 2025, we were a member of the Leading Plant Production Farms Network. During this time, we welcomed children, young people, apprentices and students, agricultural businesses, (international) industry professionals and many more to our DLG Plant Production Centre at over 46 events. We would be delighted to remain part of the network in the next round!
