Tenant farmers from across Cornwall and the South West are invited to a free open evening meeting with Alan Laidlaw, Commissioner for the Tenant Farming Sector, during his visit to Cornwall.

The meeting will take place from 7:00pm to 9:30pm.

The meeting offers a valuable opportunity for tenant farmers to hear directly from the Commissioner, share their experiences openly and ensure that the realities of life in the tenanted sector across the region are heard.

With tenant farmers facing a range of pressures, including cash flow, security of tenure and rent disputes, the evening will provide an opportunity to discuss both the challenges facing the sector and examples of positive landlord and tenant relationships.

Alan Laidlaw said:

“I am looking forward to visiting Cornwall at the end of September and meeting local farmers and organisations connected to the tenant farming sector. This is a brilliant opportunity for me and my office to hear about the opportunities and challenges facing the region from those whose knowledge and experience are so important in shaping a thriving rural economy in the region.”

The event is delivered in association with DEFRA and is free to attend. Advance booking is essential as places are limited. Tea and coffee will be available during the evening.

Join Farm Cornwall for a free breakfast bringing together farmers who have been affected by Bluetongue.

This is an opportunity to come together with other farmers over breakfast, share experiences and talk about what comes next. A local vet will join us to discuss the longer-term effects of Bluetongue, recovery and planning ahead, including what farmers may need to consider for their livestock and businesses over the coming months.

There will be plenty of time to ask questions and talk to others who have been dealing with similar challenges. The Farm Cornwall team will also be there to offer practical, confidential support.

A full breakfast and hot drink will be provided free of charge.

These events have been made possible with support from The Royal Countryside Fund, helping us to support farming families affected by Bluetongue.

Booking is essential as places are limited.
