NFU Cymru Crops & Horticulture Board Chairman Tom Rees said: “I am delighted that NFU Cymru has been able to host this dedicated conference for crops farmers and horticulture growers in Wales. There is so much to be excited about in the crops and horticulture sector; we are adopters of evolving technology which is revolutionising the data we can capture and enhancing the way that we farm in harmony with the environment.
"However, in recent years our sector has perhaps borne the brunt of climate change more than any other, with unpredictable and significant weather events severely impacting our harvest. All of this means there is much to discuss and we have a talented line up of speakers to discuss these issues and many more. Please join us on Wednesday 5th February for what promises to be a day full of bright ideas and exchanging of knowledge.”
