One major issue that will affect farming in the future is the outcome of Brexit. While the impact may be a number of years away it is important that farmers develop an understanding of future support mechanisms for agriculture that would benefit their sector. This will place them in a better position to support their lobbying organisations and to ensure their voice is heard in the ongoing negotiations.

With this in mind Tom Hind, Chief Strategy Officer with the AHDB, has been invited to address the upcoming Cafre UAS UFU 2017 Arable Conference.
