Looking forward to the q&a, making a plan to move some fields over to a no till system this time. Lots to learn, hoping to take some pointers away from Wednesday. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences

I was going to come down but don’t think il bother!
It’s a long way for you to come even in good weather.

It’s the best part of 160 miles for me. But we won’t be cutting any grass for haylage/hay this week, thank to the weather. So I’ll be going for both days now rather than be frustrated and sat at home.

Are they going to postpone it till next week. Otherwise it will be a disaster. Better to disrupt a small amount for the majority.

Postponement isn't really an option, it's the silly season for open days and demos and there certainly wouldn't be many available to man the NIAB stand next week. Cancellation only option.

Everyone has hotels booked, travel booked, machinery transport booked. There is no way it can just be postponed. There is the Arable Show next week as well, that a lot of us have to be at.

Is there any chance it could be cancelled ? how dry is the ground now ? how much rain will it take to turn the car park to a boggy mess . We are planning on driving up tomorrow and its a fair way !!!

No chance imo ! Cancelling would cost millions

Would take something like serious wind etc beyond what stands could safety hold up to for such an event to be cancelled at which point insurers would cover losses I guess

A bit of rain isn’t going to stop anything
