Protecting the Future
February 7th 2012
This years' conference will again be held in the Norfolk
Pavilion
at the South of England Centre, Ardingly.
“The Rutherfords’ Winter Conference has been a
feature of the local agricultural calendar for a number
of years and has provided for a stimulating debate and
attracted high profile speakers.
This conference is no different and our speakers
this year have been chosen to help understand the major
impacts on agriculture in the next 5 years, under the
theme ‘Protecting the Future’. The conference will be
chaired by Stephen Howe and will carry CPD points for
BASIS & NRoSO.
I hope you will find this an enjoyable and
informative event.”
