“We are really looking forward to hosting this evening talk with such a hot topic. Succession is a big and often awkward subject, especially in the farming industry. We look to provide guests with useful and applicable information that will help them start the important conversations and aid them in protecting and future proofing their businesses”, said Ruth Trolove, Agricultural Development Coordinator for the East of England Agricultural Society.
