“This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from a wide range of speakers and specialists from the agricultural world as they share their first-hand knowledge and experience. We recognise it’s not easy operating a farming business during these uncertain economic times but we’re hoping to dig deep into some of the most pressing issues and look at what action fellow farmers can take to ensure their agricultural businesses succeed and prosper for many years to come.”
