Young Farmers, right now, are making their way home from Blackpool to all corners of England and Wales.
It’s been a good year numbers-wise, attracting more than 5000, which is higher than for a few years.
The fact that it was taking place over a bank holiday weekend was one factor, as was the location (Blackpool seems more popular with a lot of delegates than Torquay).
Of course, it’s still a lot fewer than years ago when - as FW photographer (Jonathan, the old one!) - will tell you there was nearer 10,000 people there. The Isle of Man and Minehead are two venues he often speaks about.
It also might be symptomatic of something more positive – that times are getting better in agriculture and people are more able to afford a trip away like this.
