09/01/24 - Day one at the Oxford Farming Conferences

Anna Hill is in Oxford for two major conferences: the Oxford Farming Conference and the Oxford Real Farming Conference. The first is traditionally seen as attended by the established and larger farms, and the Real Farming Conference has wider scope with more smaller farms, organic producers and artisan food producers. Both together represent UK farming as a whole.

The theme at the OFC this year is 'facing change, finding opportunity'. With farmers under pressure with new farm payment schemes, challenging harvests and changes to inheritance tax, Anna asks what's the mood at the conferences.
