Organisers of this year’s Arable Event are calling for farmers to step away from this lonely business and come together.
Wynnstay and GrainLink expect 1,500 farmers and industry members to attend the event, which will include farm demonstrations, crop plots and the chance to learn and socialise with peers.
Arable Event organiser Kelly Dolphin said: “This month is Mental Health Awareness month and what better time to call out to farmers to come together. The Arable Event is a great place to meet up with old friends and make some new ones over a relaxed drink or a bite to eat.
“Farming can be a lonely business, and it’s so important to sometimes just step away from your own work to interact with other people and find out what’s going on in the industry beyond your own farm gate.
“The speakers we have lined up are guaranteed to be both interesting and informative, and I’m sure the speakers’ tent will be the place to be.
“But there is a lot more for visitors to see and have a go at, including tours of the seed trial plots, machinery demonstrations and trade stands.”
Tickets are free of charge, with the option to pre-book Fast Track tickets which include entry into a prize draw sponsored by Mornflake. For more information go to www.thearableevent.co.uk
