On the 19th of June, the Arable Event will return to Western-under-Lizard with a host of seed trial plots, machinery demonstrations and guest speakers.
Agricultural consultant Charlie Ireland, managing partner at Ceres Rural, who has made regular appearances on Clarkson’s Farm, will be joined by influencer and farmer Olly Harrison, who now has 116,000 subscribers to his channel.
Arable Event manager Kelly Dolphin said: “I’m delighted that Charlie is returning to the Arable Event after his very popular talk last year. He’s known as a farming consultant, but his knowledge and expertise covers a huge range of topics.
“Olly’s YouTube channel gives an honest view of what daily life is like for farmers in the UK. He has found a way to connect with both farmers and non-farmers, and is bound to be a popular speaker this year.

“Over the past 10 years the Arable Event has become a key fixture in the agricultural calendar, and this year is shaping up to be even bigger and better than before.
“It’s important for farmers to keep up with everything that’s new in the industry, and where better to do that than the one-stop-shop Arable Event? It’s also a great day out and a chance to meet up, network and socialise with friends old and new.
“Free fast track tickets are available to book now, and everyone who secures an advance ticket will be entered into a draw to win some fabulous prizes, sponsored by Mornflake. Furthermore, everyone attending can collect BASIS and NroSO points.”
Looking at the crop plots, this section has been expanded for 2024 to include variety, fertiliser and biostimulant demonstrations, with a full complement of winter cereals, including SY Cheer and Bamford.
Organised by Wynnstay and Grainlink, the event is free to attend for farmers. To register for tickets go to www.thearableevent.co.uk
