Dear Friends,

*Groundswell 2017 Tickets and Info NOW LIVE*

A lot has happened since the first Groundswell show that could have
fundamental impact on no-till farmers and Conservation Agriculture.

From Brexit and the on-going question about what this means for British
farms, to the glyphosate debate. There has also been increased awareness of
the power that farmers have in reducing flooding through effective use of
their land, as well as wider awareness of the role the soil plays in
reducing CO2 in our atmosphere. The voice of no-till farmers at a national
level on the BBC has become louder, and there does seem to be a pricking up
of politician’s ears that Conservation Agriculture is worth paying
attention to.

There is certainly plenty to be discussed at this year's Groundswell
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=7eecced195&e=cc65f60c27>
!

We are excited to announce that tickets
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=ebdbfc5bd4&e=cc65f60c27>
are now live for the 2017 show.
We have a lot of inspiring speakers
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=4e9f1a8814&e=cc65f60c27>
lined up, including David Montgomery and Anne Biklé (USA), Dr Christine
Jones (Australia), Graeme Sait (Australia) and Dr Sarah Beynon (UK), as
well as more in-field demonstrations
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=9a24058279&e=cc65f60c27>,
more talks from real farmers, more opportunities for Q&A and discussion -
and (by popular demand) better loos and more food choice (have you ever
tried a Groundswell Grass-Fed Burger?!) We also have a great range of
exhibitors
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=6023cd4024&e=cc65f60c27>
and
we are re-designing the site so that everyone is closer together. See the
website
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=e2f82cc492&e=cc65f60c27>
for full details of line-up and goings on.

The biggest change this year is the expansion into two days. The first day,
the *Grass-Fed Day* on the 28th June, will focus on getting animals back
onto arable land, and on growing and finishing ruminants on pasture. There
will be live mob-stocking demonstrations and talks from livestock and soil
experts.

The second day, the *No-Till Day* on 29th June, will be more focused on the
arable and feature the direct drill demonstrations
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=0cf5f64454&e=cc65f60c27>,
along with demonstrations of soil, cover cropping, rainfall simulation and
of course, a conference barn chock-full of fascinating and inspiring
speakers. We have teamed up with Kings
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=95b67d458c&e=cc65f60c27>
as our Cover Crop Partner who will be showcasing some classic mixes in the
field.

For those who live further afield there are plenty of local hotels
