This jointly organised farm walk and discussion with NFFN and AHDB will address the economic realities of modern arable farming and the essential contractor:land manager relationship.


These half day sessions explore how low-input agronomy, whole-farm systems, and practical adaptations can protect farm margins. By combining host farmer experiences, contractor perspectives, and detailed AHDB financial benchmarking, the sessions demonstrate that reducing inputs can improve bottom-line profitability without sacrificing yield.

Speakers include

  • Arable contractor Martin Lines

  • NFFN England Manager Lottie Alves

  • NFFN Scotland Manager Nim Kibbler.

  • AHDB specialists

Together, they will detail practical machinery adaptations that avoid heavy capital investment, explore soil biology, and provide guidance on contractor marketing.
