Consult with a leading new entrant farmer
As part of the James Hutton Institute’s focus on new entrant farmers at this year’s Royal Highland Show, the “Newbie” project will facilitate “new entrant drop-in consulting” Thursday and Friday of the show (20 and 21 June).
Four pathbreaking new entrant farmers have volunteered to make themselves available to describe their farm operations and offer advice to aspiring farmers, consult with established new entrants, and provide their outlook to policy representatives. Don’t miss this opportunity for peer to peer learning and new entrant farming dialogue.
