We are down to the Final 10 tickets, and you won't be getting in without them! There is a great line up of speakers including a packed Political panel post budget...so Farmer friends get yourself booked on!

[Northern Farming Conference @NorthFarmConf]

Selling like hotcakes - only 14 farmer tickets left - another sell-out imminent...

It will be fascinating to hear reflections on the budget from @DanielZeichner, @timfarron, @_RobbieMoore @FGRachaelBrown and others...

We had a fantastic training day to launch this #fieldlab I'm excited to see what the next few years bring!

[Innovative Farmers @IFarmers]

Brilliant start to the Innovative Farmers & @PastureForLife #fieldlab last week in the Yorkshire Dales.

This #farmerled research will explore how livestock trampling can control bracken – a burden for many #uplandfarming businesses - whilst positively impacting #biodiversity🦋

Great meeting at home last week with the Fold Farm Vets Beef discussion group. The rain held off enough for @RhidianJones2 to lead the group through chats about forage, grass and wintering options.

Thanks to members from across @NlandNP @NorthPennAONB & @lakedistrictnp who helped host a fact-finding tour for @Sion_McG, Dep Director with @DefraGovUK, looking at what it's like to farm in a protected landscape. We had a cold but really useful 2 days! https://t.co/r8iSqvhfU3

[Tabitha Acton (nee Allen) @_tabby_cat]

@Sion_McG @NFUtweets @natparksengland @NAAONB Pleased to have you out on farm Siôn, we certainly appreciated the discussion! The offer to come back up in the summer still stands too 🥶
