The Yorkshire Agricultural Society event featured 39 industry speakers discussing pressing farming topics during a series of workshops and talks, and more than 60 businesses and organisations selling their wares in the sold-out Trade Show. Such has been the response in its first year, the Society has confirmed that the Yorkshire Farming Conference will return next year, on Wednesday January 27 2027. Allister Nixon, CEO of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society said: “The event has been brilliantly attended and supported by the agricultural sector. The connection between farming and cooking in schools is really important and should be brought back.”The conference was attended by high-profile guests including the Lord-Lieutenant for North Yorkshire, Jo Ropner, and the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, who met farmers during a private roundtable discussion. The event was a collaboration between the Yorkshire Agricultural Society and its farming networks.
