Money well spent, just for the chat with other attendees before you hear the range of speakers.

I’m guessing not yet.
Everything on the website is all 2018 still too.
I’ve signed up to the news letter though so hopefully see things in email

Went last year and may try 2 days this year. Well worth the trip.

Tickets might well go very quickly this year then
Tickets normally go on sale March time, as noted the website is a bit out of date; our IT man has just got engaged so his mind may be wandering.
We are thinking we may have an extra day on the 25th focussing on food...we have had so much interest in Groundswell from non-farming people and everyone eats food, so we are trying to work out how we can engage the foodies with a bit of myth-busting about glyphosate and ploughing, cows and climate and that kind of thing.
Any suggestions welcome...

How about inviting a diverse range of farmers along to help with one to one discussions in a coffee morning type format? You'd have to be confident of the abilities and knowledge of the farmers but it would give the non-farmers a good opportunity to discuss and learn and the farmers would gain a better understanding of the perceptions the public hold.
@martian reckon this guy would be good.
He's definitely on our list. What he says is quite a game-changer in terms of how we sort climate change. And farming
you should see if you can get Michael Gove to go he may learn something

How about someone who knows about regenerative farming/no-till in cooler wetter climates, for the likes of us who live west of the M5/M6
There's quite a few kiwis who are at it and doing quite well. @Kiwi Pete would know of someone.

Most of us have to, it isn't really an option TBH.
You till: the nutrients leach away, the soil compacts, the aggregation disappears, the soil cooks and caps and dies.
There are few countries in the world where a plough is still the "go to", and your fortunate enough to live there
Sorry!
It's still really easy to be a degenerative farmer though, basically almost all things we do to our land will take us there, but until you see the cactus you don't see the desert - we see what we look for
Would you be up for speaking there?Most of us have to, it isn't really an option TBH.

I would talk to a tree, if it didn't run away!
However, I'm really no expert.
I'd gladly pass on what I do know, you know me well enough to know I am passionate about soil regeneration, almost as passionate as I am about helping out others
so I couldn't say "no"
