Shows & Events News

The Dorset Horn and Poll Dorset Sheep Association’s National Show has fast become a success and drawn breeders from across the country since its calendar debut – and this year will be no different.

Over 2,600 lots, including more than 250 rare vintage and classic tractors, will go under the hammer at the Cheffins Vintage Sale, the largest vintage auction event in Europe, on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd April.

British farmers are critical to the UK food supply chain and protecting the nation’s valuable and vulnerable environments. Technology can play a key part in that, making it the focus of the South West’s freshest agri-tech event.

The Royal Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) stands firm in its commitment that the Royal Highland Show (RHS) will continue to showcase the best in Scottish agriculture, despite a call by PETA for the award-winning four-day event to become exclusively vegan.

Exciting plans are underway for a National Sheep Association (NSA) event this autumn that will bring together the nation’s sheep farmers for a fresh style of enjoyable and informative farming conference.

Hosted by the Woodland Trust and Soil Association, the two-day event will explore how farming with trees can deliver business resilience and productivity while doing more for nature and the climate.

The critical importance of agri-tech to agriculture and food is a key topic which will be discussed at the upcoming South West AgriTech Showcase next month.

A staple event in the farming calendar, Cereals brings some of the most cutting edge research and development, machinery and knowledge to arable farmers and agronomists.

Returning this year following the pandemic, the Lincolnshire Farming Conference welcomed hundreds of farmers from across the industry to discuss topics around soil health and mental well-being in farming.

Early bird tickets for Cereals 2023 are now on sale, with 50% of the proceeds going to the Multiple System Atrophy Trust, a cause close to the host farmer’s heart.

Stand sales are now live for Down to Earth North and South, the UK’s top regenerative farming event for livestock producers.  

Agri-tech is a cornerstone of efficient, sustainable food production – and a new conference in South West England promises to lead the way by showcasing the latest opportunities and development.
