New farmers or those thinking of joining the industry are invited to this year’s New Entrant to Farming Gathering at Murrayfield stadium on 26 February.

The day will see presentations from Rebecca McEwen, who gave up a career in film and TV to run Arnprior Pumpkins on her husband’s family farm; Richard Rogers, winner of the 2018 British Grassland Society (BGS) Grassland Farmer of the Year competition; alongside Gethin Jones, who will talk about joint venture working with New Zealand-style dairy herds.

Farmers Journal writer Andrew Marchant will also be speaking about setting up a beef, sheep and deer farm business with his wife. While Graeme Jarron will explain how he set up his business distilling vodka from potatoes.
