Farmers Weekly Question Time is a flagship, live event where farmers have the opportunity to speak directly with industry experts on the issues affecting UK agriculture - today, and in the future. Now in its third series, Question Time has established itself as a key event in the farming calendar. Held in some of the nation’s agricultural hotspots, past events have featured experts such as Rt Hon Mark Spencer, Victoria Vyvyan, and Robbie Moore. In 2024/2025, we will continue to tour key venues, including Harper Adams University, the Oxford Farming Conference, and Plumpton College, with panelists to be announced soon.
Supporting Question Time can give your brand visibility from a trusted, dedicated audience, the ability to participate in meaningful conversations that play a role in shaping the future, and opportunities for networking; where you can share your organisation's initiatives and vision.
Position your organisation at the forefront of the conversation.
