You are invited to join us for the next Buckinghamshire & Bedfordshire Monitor Farm Meeting.

We look forward to welcoming you to catch up on what has been happening at the Monitor Farm since we last met.

Monitor Farmer Will MacLennan wants to improve the soils at the farm by building soil organic matter and getting soil remediation methods right. He is keen to bring in the best ideas from both conventional and non-conventional farming practices.

We will be joined by well known Cambridgeshire farmer Tom Martin who will discuss his experiences of regenerative farming.

Tom will discuss his experience with regenerative farming. He will also include agripolitics, social media, Farmer Time - and the mistakes he has made in regenerative farming.

Tom farms a predominantly arable holding in Cambridgeshire focusing on cereals and oilseeds, as well as fattening sheep on grass. He has continued in the footsteps of his forbears carefully stewarding the environment and moving toward a ‘no till lite’ version of conservation farming. Tom is passionate about sharing what happens ‘behind the farm gate’, which has led him to become involved in the CLA, NFU, LEAF, and East of England Agricultural Society, as well as writing monthly in local publications and hosting a well-supported presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as ‘Farmer Tom’.

Registration and refreshments will be available from 9.30 am with presentations commencing at 10.00  and lunch will be provided.

BASIS and NRoSO points will be available for attending.

The event is free to attend, but please register to allow us to cater accordingly.
