Greetings,
We are fortunate to have so many great speakers and organisations
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=2817c7fd29&e=cc65f60c27>
flying in from all corners of the country - and the world - to speak
at *Groundswell
2017*. It’s testament to the enthusiasm of our attendees that we are able
to garner such high profile support from world-class Conservation
Agriculture figures, despite our relative size compared to other
agricultural shows.
We are pleased to present the full line up of speakers for each day at
Groundswell 2017:
*SPEAKER LINE UP 2017
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=a525ed248c&e=cc65f60c27>*
For one day ticket holders, you can now see that *Dr. Christine Jones*, *Graeme
Sait*, *Dr. Sarah Beynon* and *David Montgomery* will be speaking on both
days, albeit on slightly different topics, given the different focus of
each day.
We do hope that you’ll consider coming for both days - even if you don’t
yet have livestock in your rotation. For our two-day ticket holders we can
assure you that Wednesday night’s entertainment will provide something a
bit different. Renowned storyteller *Hugh Lupton* will present “On Common
Ground - An evening of stories, songs and music exploring the life and
times of poet John Clare”. Hugh is one of the finest storytellers in
Britain - and a key figure in the storytelling revival, transforming the
art from a moribund anachronism to a vigorous and contemporary form of
entertainment. His telling of the life of the 19th century
‘Northamptonshire peasant poet’ John Clare is something not to be missed.
Aside from all the talking, there’ll be a grass-fed barbecue, ales from
local brewers and plenty of time to mingle with fellow delegates and
speakers. You are welcome to camp or park a campervan on site. For those
who prefer a comfy bed, there are plentiful accommodation options nearby.
From a luxury yurt to a charming manor house, there is something to suit
every taste. See our webpage here
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=3aca0f05f7&e=cc65f60c27>
for a comprehensive list of options and even some special discounts for
Groundswell Attendees.
We are strongly behind the *#glyphosateisvital* campaign and remain
optimistic that science will prevail over fear-mongering, and the
glyphosate ban will not commence. As the discussion rumbles on - and
whether a ban appears or not - we feel it is salient to consider
alternative weed-control options, should we be faced with a ban in the
future. With this in mind, we are hoping to play host to some innovative
chemical-free weed control techniques at Groundswell...anyone’s suggestions
would be most welcome. Please get in touch
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=91c8f5195a&e=cc65f60c27>
.
One of the key concepts of Groundswell is maximising learning opportunities
from all aspects of the agricultural industry. There will be BASIS and NRoSo
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=c63cb6a2e0&e=cc65f60c27>
CPD points available at both days of the conference for those collecting.
In addition, we have set up a 10% student & Young Farmer discount
<http://groundswellag.us13.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=4a6b5710701fe7563d2e6a429&id=88e53d988a&e=cc65f60c27>.
