Organisers of one of the Midlands’ biggest agricultural events are calling for farmers to step away from what can be a ‘lonely business’ and come together next month to celebrate arable farming.

The Arable Event, organised by Wynnstay and GrainLink, is expected to see 1,500 farmers and industry specialists gather for a day of farm demonstrations, learning and socialising.

Arable Event organiser Kelly Dolphin said: “This month is Mental Health Awareness month and what better time to call out to farmers to come together. The Arable Event is a great place to meet up with old friends and make some new ones over a relaxed drink or a bite to eat. “But there is a lot more for visitors to see and have a go at, including tours of the seed trial plots, machinery demonstrations and trade stands.”

Free fast track tickets are still available to book and include entry into a prize draw sponsored by Mornflake. Visitors to the Arable Event can also collect BASIS and NroSO points.
