Charlotte Wright, Chair of the Lincolnshire Farming Conference 2025 said:

“I’m excited to be chairing the 2025 Lincolnshire Farming Conference. This conference has been a cornerstone of our county’s agricultural community for many years, bringing people together to explore new ideas. This year's theme, ‘Inspiring the Next Generation,’ feels particularly relevant given recent challenges, including the changing government landscape and this year's tough harvest. As a new entrant and tenant farmer myself, I understand the value of these discussions. Our fantastic lineup of speakers will cover topics such as tenancy, succession planning and multigenerational farming.

“It’s a great opportunity for people of all ages to connect, hear from experts, and share their experiences. The conference continues to be an inspiring and successful event in an industry that’s constantly evolving.

“The Lincolnshire Farming Conference is open to all farmers, students, business owners, and industry professionals who are passionate about the future of agriculture. By focusing on the next generation, the event hopes to cultivate new ideas and prepare young minds to tackle the challenges of tomorrow’s farming world.

This year we are excited to bring two workshops into the agenda.
