NSA Central Region field day puts collaboration centre stage
Working together was the theme as NSA Central Region welcomed farmers, students and members of rural community to the Epic Centre, Lincolnshire Showground.
Four interactive workshops looked at collaboration from different angles. Masons & Partners explored forage exchanges, contract and share farming and grazing licences, and how they can help new entrants into the industry. Pickstock Foods set out what processors want from sheep producers, and Agrimin looked at how farmers, vets and nutritionists can work together on flock trace element needs.
NSA joined Defra to run a workshop reflecting on the 2026 bluetongue season, looking at how farmers, vets, industry bodies and government can communicate better and be better prepared for 2027.
The afternoon panel, chaired by Emma Craig, AHDB, heard from Lincolnshire sheep farmer Ed Bray and David Bristow, Stourton Estates. The panel discussed how sheep and arable farms can work together effectively to improve yields and provide sheep with grazing land.
NSA Central Region thanks Gelston Lamb for providing lunch, Lincolnshire Agricultural Society and all 11 trade stands for their support.
