Young Farmers have always been good at mixing the serious and the fun, and this weekend’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs forum is a case in point.
It attracted some really high-profile speakers – NFU vice president Meurig Raymond and CLA president Henry Aubrey-Fletcher among them.
‘Rural living’ and ‘Blue Skies Thinking’ were two of the topics under discussion, with the delegates breaking into groups. It was a great chance for Young Farmers to make their opinions known and have their voices heard.
I got to chat to (and as you know I’m not one to name drop!) the Shadow Agriculture Minister Jim Paice – who, incidentally, had been a Young Farmer himself.
He speaks incredibly highly of the organisation and doubts he’d be where he is today had he not developed the skills and confidence he did when he was a member.
He seemed in a very good mood – but I suppose after Friday’s local council election you can’t blame him!
