Not sure what to expect?
Future Farmer Mike Morley, who farms at Pickering, North Yorkshire, was our 2024 bursary recipient and he reported that he had a hugely beneficial experience.
It was a real treat and I would urge anyone who has thought of attending the AgriLeader conference to go.
Any nerves soon disappear and you come away with the infectious positive atmosphere that everyone in attendance has, whilst making friends and being inspired with business techniques.
Courtesy of AHDB’s YouTube channel, here’s a flavour of the 2024 event:
Since 2010, the Future Farmers of Yorkshire has been bringing together like-minded farmers, vets and industry professionals, supporting them by providing a platform for debate and the sharing of ideas.
The group is supported by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society and is open to everyone within the industry.
