There's an awful lot of chatter about it on twitter from the 'trendsetters' of UK ag.
The trouble is they tend to use words like 'progressive' and 'forward thinking' a lot and are clearly very smug about themselves and all that attend, which is offputting.
Progressing towards what I always think?

I don't think they'd get many turn up if they just said there wasn't much worth coming for and it was going to be people telling you stuff you already know.
But then again it seems some farmers do prefer just to be told that whatever they are doing now is right and they needn't ever change...

I think I might have got confused between the Oxford Farming Conference on Twitter, and the Oxford Real Farming Conference in the link above?

I think there are people with similar attitudes to both on Twitter, it's a bit unfortunate to see a divide as they're probably both quite good in different ways. never been to either but I'd like to maybe next year

You can attend screenings of the movie I dont know if you can actually get a copy for yourself, the production company works with the Land workers' Alliance and they do screenings up and down the country and at different events, I have attached their link with contact details,
I cant make the conference I m so flipping angryhttp://inourhands.film/event-directory/

The Oxford Real Farming Conference was £60.00 entrance fee for the two days , I was informed the other one had an elitist entrance fee of £400.00 ! , I stand to be corrected ?
Michael Gove attended both as far as I know , he commented that the Oxford Real Farming Conference was better supported , not surprising really.

Bit of a misnomer, ir . 'Real' belongs to those who are actually doing the job day to day not clever clogs 'hot airing' at a special conference about the latest trend.............

Yeah but if you're one of the future farming leaders who happen to have large twitter followings they gave you a free ticket....
I think you`ll find the ones at the Real event were the farm workers and small farm owners with a few exceptions where as the other lot were the big farmers who dont actually do any farm work.
Both ....
Not quite true ---there have been plenty of 'advisors/campaigners' at the last 3 or 4 ORFC i have been to & it's one of the reasons i didn't go this year
I need to go to the OFC just to see what it's all about i guess and then i can compare ----there has been quite a lot of cross over in the last two years with reps. from major supermarkets at the ORFC (some incognito)
