Leics farm advice goes mobile

Leicestershire farmers and rural businesses are set to benefit from a new mobile advice centre launched at the CLA Game Fair on July 22.

The trailer, funded by the Leicestershire Economic Partnership on behalf of the Leicestershire Rural Partnership, will tour events like farmers markets and shows across the county.

It will allow access to advice on management, training, diversification opportunities and information on grant funding.

Tom Gill, rural officer at Leics County council, said: “This project will make it much simpler for farmers, rural enterprises and many more, to access support and advice that will improve their business.”
