Harper Life Magazine 2020

Harper Life Nov 2020 — 17 I was an NDA student at Harper Adams from 1961 to 1963. 2021 will be the diamond anniversary of starting at the college. I am in contact with Rod Gill and Geoff Allen from that time and it would be lovely if as many of our colleagues as possible could attend the reunion. Details to be shared in due course. Call for NDA 1961 – 1963 reunion – Tony Davison We are just so grateful to Harper Adams for bringing us together. We met as we were both doing BEng Ag eng, then we were at placement at Claas, and we were in the same house in final year. We went on the ski trip together and have so many things in common, we are now living up in Angus. I’m working at a factory and Adam is managing a farm as well as numerous engineering projects. Just can’t wait to start the rest of our life together, it was a very limited ceremony with only 17 guests 2 of which were at Harper as well. Basically we owe so much to Harper, having made amazing friends and relationships for life. Photography by Graeme McInnes. After graduating frommy Masters in Plant Pathology in 2017 I worked several years as an agronomist and research technician for Bayer Crop Science, Stockbridge Technology Centre and ADAS. In September 2019 I moved to Harpenden to work for Rothamsted Research as a field experimentation technician where I assist on a variety of crop trials and other research. Recently moved to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and working as the Agronomy Technical Lead for Cargill Agricultural Supply Chain North America.
