The FUN events are to be held at the following venues:
Rob Cooper, Catchment Adviser at Northumbrian Water, said: “The Farm Update North meetings have become important and informative events in the diaries of many farmers, landowners, and other interested parties, keeping them up to date with valuable information that helps them to prepare for the year ahead.”
“This year will be no different, and it’s also a great opportunity for us to talk to those attendees and get equally useful insight into the issues they are anticipating.”
CLA North Adviser, Jane Harrison, said: “Following on from last year’s event, this is ‘must attend’ as it brings together all the relevant players in the north east’s agricultural sector to give practical advice and knowledge to delegates.”
“Topics at this event will range from rural funding opportunities through to the latest business, environmental and regulatory information to assist farmers. Farmers will also have the opportunity to network with their peers and experts from a variety of supporting organisations.”
Basis and NRoSO points will be available. Register to attend online via www.bit.ly/35UNcRq
