The conference

The Northern Farming Conference aims to give farmers the opportunity to consider how best to progress and take control of their businesses over the next few years.

Under the theme 'Sweating the assets', leading farmers and industry stakeholders from across the country examined what the future may hold for farmers and their plans for this, particularly in light of the ongoing uncertainty around Brexit.
