With a focus on “Engaging the next generation to the industry’s new norm”. you will have the opportunity to present questions to the panel on how they foresee the next generation will tackle the ever-changing world. This can include topics such as the transition from BPS to ELMS, sustainability and the role of the apprenticeship, and how providing opportunity and training is paramount in feeding the nation.

Arable and business: 13.30-15.15

This session will introduce key areas of work for the arable sector and from a business perspective. Discussion will range from soil health and variety choice to the ever more importance of people management and development. There will also be an update on the revised Red Tractor arable standards.
