Heading to Birmingham for National Farmers' Union #NFU24 for a couple of days - looking forward to seeing loads of familiar faces and plenty of new ones.

Heading home from an excellent evening with farmers of the Notts Farm Business Association with Minister Mark Spencer courtesy of Patrick Lynn - really enjoyed the in-depth and lively discussion about progress made so far and things still to learn, tweak and improve 🙏🏼😀
