Among the new information producers will hear is:
A detailed breakdown of export data.

The first public demonstration of the interactive beef Snapshot farm costings.

John Cross, EBLEX Chairman, said: "We want to encourage farmers to take a closer look at topics such as exports, livestock selection, farm costings and brand development to see what impact these can have on the farm business."
The event is free to all English beef and sheep producers. Places will be taken on a "first come, first served" basis. Details from: conference2007@eblex.org.uk or call 0870 609 1840.
