There will be presentations in the morning followed by machinery demonstrations to cover harvesting aids to reduce labour and asparagus field trials in the afternoon. A trade exhibition will be running alongside the event throughout the day.

A networking lunch will provide opportunities to interact with growers, agronomists, machinery companies and associated industries.

There will also be a drinks reception and conference dinner on the evening of Tuesday 5 July at The Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa.

The event is registered for both BASIS and NRoSO points, which will be available on the day, and delegates can register to attend here.
