The NFU 2016 conference is taking place at the ICC in Birmingham on February 23-24 and includes a key note speech from the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Liz Truss MP, as well as speakers from the world of banking, farming and horticulture. The hugely important EU referendum will be debated on the second day of conference.

NFU President Meurig Raymond said he was delighted to introduce a lineup of world class speakers at the event. He said: “This year, the NFU will focus on providing sustainable solutions for improving the future for Britain’s farmers.

“The last 12 months have been difficult for farmers and growers and we are pleased to be able to focus on the areas of growth in the coming year and how we can help strengthen an already resilient industry.”
