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!
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... Register here:

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

We where pleased to have the opportunity to bend Sion and Alistair's ears about farming in the park and the associated projects. Also pleased to see the announcement that Farming in Protected Landscape's project has been extended for another year!
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!
