Mark Moore — Immediate Past President
I joined Massey Ferguson in 1990 as a technical training instructor from Cranfield University, where I obtained a 1st Class Honour's degree in Agricultural Technology and Management.
In 1991 I assumed responsibility for developing the MF yield-mapping programme, which evolved into precision farming in the mid 1990's. At the same time, I started a part time Ph.D.: The accuracy of yield maps and their subsequent use in crop management, which I completed in 1997. My agricultural engineering and agronomy skills have led to my current AGCO role of Director, Government Affairs. The aim is to increase awareness amongst policy makers on the opportunities to increase food production while mitigating climate change.
