FarmWizard founder meets Gove

Terry Canning of FarmWizard discussed developments in 4G mobile research and their impact on livestock farming in remote areas.

Mr Gove said: "It is fantastic to see research emerging that makes use of the smartphone handset innovation available along with enhanced data networks.

"FarmWizard is a great example of a small business that can deliver real benefit to its clients by utilising innovative cloud computing innovation."

The company as well launched a smartphone web app which allows livestock farmers to access animal information directly on their phones without the need to access a computer.

Mr Stewart said: "By pioneering the use of research in a place so sparsely populated as this part of Cumbria, we can show Britain is not in decline when it comes to technology.

The way with innovation

"It as well shows it is not just London leading the way with innovation and livestock farming as well has a key role to play."
