We are beginning to put next years show together. The new website is live (in a manner of speaking), complete with a form to fill in for anyone who fancies speaking. We've had lots of suggestions about the sort of things people want to hear, we thought it would be good to see if there are speakers out there to match.

We've got some exciting options for headline speakers which we'll announce as soon as is sensible. The drill demonstration field has moved. Well obviously it hasn't, it's a no-till field, but the demonstrations this year will be on a new field which our health and safety advisors have identified as being less life-threatening to access (ie it's on the same side of the road as the rest of the show).

Stick it in your diary: 26th/27th June 2019 and get back to us with ideas

It would be a good if you could arrange for it to be raining on those days, it doesn’t have to be lashing down but just enough not to be baling weather would be nice.
 
How about a beginner's guide to Conservation Ag? Tony Reynolds was great because he tell of his own experiences of yield dips & increased seed/N costs initially. A dose of reality from the likes of @dontknowanything was a good laugh last year.
As well as a beginners guide also an explanation how persevering through the hiccups and doughts can yield bigger dividends in the long term years 5 onwards particularly on heavy land .
