The Tenant Farmers Association will be travelling across the country during February with its nationwide road show of meetings for farm tenants to brief them on topical issues connected with farm tenancies and wider agricultural policy matters.
TFA National Chairman Greg Bliss said "With the UK now officially out of the recession we are encouraging our members as ever, to look and plan for the future. This is why we are using this round of meetings to look at such areas as the Single Payment Scheme, the future of the CAP and the Government’s policy on food security, to name but a few. This round of meetings will give tenants the chance to hear expert updates from the TFA. We are also encouraging our members to come along and ask questions relating to any tenancy related matter they may have concerns about."
At each meeting there will be an adviser from the TFA, along with experts from the TFA’s panel of Recommended Professionals, who will all be on hand to answer any questions that farm tenants may have about tenancy related matter.
