@martian, have theses been confirmed yet, even provisionally?

Asking for a friend.... genuinely!
Unfortunately not. We had a catch-up yesterday and all I can say is: it's going to be a cracking show! There are one or two speakers who we know will only be on one day and when I work out how to extract the info from the computer, I'll post these. Final line-up still a week or two away. Plenty of tickets left, so no tearing hurry as yet. There will be a good mix of livestock/no-till/policy etc on both days, so your best bet, if you can only spare one day, is to toss a coin and trust whatever Lady Luck decides.

As a poor Gambler, I have gone "Each-Way", and got two tickets :)

@martian did you end up with a speaker on composting? I know you said you'd have demo's, but was hoping for someone to explain the science of it.
Sorry, I never replied. There's at least one talk each day on composting and probably a bokashi one too as well as demos of various different techniques.
As to the full line-up of speakers, we are getting closer but it is still under constant fiddling. All I can say is that it is going to be brilliant. Sold a lot of tickets to trusting delegates, so we're duty bound to put on a good show!

Here's a list of some of the speakers we've got lined up, a few more are waiting for the light to be right for their photos and that kind of thing. https://groundswellag.com/speakers-2021/
It's likely to be too difficult for travellers from abroad to pop in, but time will tell.
Quite a list there! Have you actually sold any tickets? :ROFLMAO:
