Groundswell Show 2022

martian · Mar 9, 2022

It's a bit early really, but we've just started selling tickets to this years show (22/23rd June 2022). Every year I tell everyone that they shouldn't hang about too long as we're going to sell out and this years no different. We've got room this year for a few more (post covid), but there's a lot more interest from farmers.

We've got over a hundred speakers lined up, including Jill Clapperton and Greg Judy back for old times sake and Dwayne Beck is finally coming...I've been badgering him every year since we started, but this always clashes with the Dakota Lakes open day. There'll be Government ministers and anarchists, foodies and food and most of the fun of the fair. There's a biostimulant trial plot, a compost zone and of course, the direct drill demo area...this year including an inter-row hoe demo. It is going to be the best Groundswell yet. Don't miss out. https://groundswell.yourticketpurchase.com/events/groundswell

There's an idea...it would require you to have your TFF handle on your name tag? Bad luck on those who've already bought a ticket. I'll discuss this with the team.
You could always pretend to be a student

Good question. Final timetable won't be fixed till the week before, if the last few years are anything to go by. But we should know the big picture by the end of March, for those who can only come one day and want to know which day to make it. Those that applied for a speaking slot will be informed in the next week or two, I'm sorry that it's all a bit back to front...the date for tickets going on sale was published before we were really ready.

Best value of any agricultural event I have ever been to. You learn far more value than you spent.

I've never met anyone who hasn't felt like they have learnt the value of their ticket. You normally pay to learn, but get tickets for free if you are the product and are going to be sold too.

I see Minette Batters is down as a speaker. Could we have her and @Clive on the same platform. Be worth the entrance fee on its own.

I would pay for that one.... Hell, I'd pay a couple of quid for the streaming video

@martian is there any difference between the days now? Last time I came one day was more livestock oriented than the other I think

No doubt. A typical 12 basis point meeting will cost £80 (inc vat) for the day. But; it’s structured, small groups to encourage dialogue, includes lunch and hasn’t got the distraction of shiny kit! Therefore you learn. Don’t get me wrong; I’d love to come but unless someone can say it genuinely costs that much to put it on; the price is rather greedy in my opinion. What is the basis points allocation by the way?

No, both days are broadly the same. The keynote speakers will be talking on both days, politicians and Minette etc only on the day they show up

There's a lot of costs, just the toilet and shower hire must be eye watering.
