ARE YOU MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR
ASSETS, LAND, PROPERTY AND LIVESTOCK?
FARM BUSINESS CONFERENCE
All farming businesses are individual
and as such each has different potential
prospects. The aim of this farm business
conference, organised by H&H Land and
Property and to take place at Buckabank
Farm, Dalston, Carlisle on Tuesday 4th July,
is to explore the variety of opportunities
that farmers could consider in order to
future proof their businesses.
Throughout the day industry
professionals will be looking to the
future in terms of farming practices and
managing assets and property. This does
not just include traditional methods, but
other alternative ways you can enhance
output and increase revenue. This is
demonstrated by the Brough family at
Buckabank Farm where the event will
be hosted, who has invested in a robotic
milking system allowing them to increase
milking herd size from 180 cows to 320.
The system incorporates all year round
90 Summer 2017 www.farmers-mart.co.uk
calving, and also a fully housed system
which has allowed the farm to fully utilise
land for forage and cereal production.
Heading up the conference is H&H
Land and Property Senior Farm Business
Management Consultant, Nick Prince who
possesses extensive experience, both
hands on and academic, of farming and
rural issues. Throughout the day there
will be a series of seminars and debates
covering a range of key industry topics,
including: the financial realities of farming,
making the most of planning opportunities
and developing a farm business. Breakout
sessions will also offer attendees the
chance to explore in small groups the
development of a farm business, marketing
lamb, current animal health issues and
developing a dairy enterprise.
Nick commented: “UK farm businesses
are certainly facing an interesting and
challenging time and do need to look at
their farm business in detail to ensure
that they are maximising all possible
opportunities. In hosting this event with
carefully chosen partners our aim is to
provide farmers with practical examples
and open discussion to help them review
their businesses.”
