Resilience and Opportunity: Insights from the OFC 90th Anniversary

Episode Summary

In this episode, we begin with Chris Walkland’s latest milk market report before celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Oxford Farming Conference with insights from OFC Director Ali Capper and dairy farmer Tracey Roan, who is based in Dumfries and Galloway. We delve into the report “UK Farming: Grasping the Opportunities,” led by Dr. Louise Manning, which explores the future of UK agriculture and the key interventions needed to help farming businesses thrive. We also highlight how any family business looking ahead should consider involving independent people to strengthen long term decision making. Throughout the discussion, Becki Reay joins the conversation, offering reflections and perspective as we unpack the conference’s core themes, including the sector’s resilience and the value of strong networks within the farming community.
