EVENTS

The Farm Business Update in 2024

Farm Business Updates

I am pleased to confirm that the annual Farm Business Update meetings will be held in January and February 2025.

It is a chance for farmers to get an update on issues that may affect them and their businesses over the coming year. Farmers will get the chance to get an update from;

  • the local water company in that area

  • Environment Agency

  • Natural England/CSF

  • FWAG/CFE

  • NFU

  • CLA

The event will start with a guest speaker who will talk on a topic that is current in agriculture. At the time of writing this we haven’t finalised the individual speakers at each event but as with last year each venue will have a different guest speaker. Although most farmers in the Waveney are likely to be closest to Wortwell Community Centre, the booking details for the other venues in the east of the region are listed below if you can’t make that one.
