HGCA Grain Market Workshop
HGCA is offering growers the chance to learn more about the key drivers for the coming season as well as how to assess their business needs at this free event.
Eight HGCA Grain Market Workshops will take place from 31 October to 6 February across the country and are split into two sessions. The first entitled Market Outlook and Risk Factors, will give growers a grain and oilseed market outlook as well as a look at the coming season’s key market drivers.
The second part will be a workshop on Price Risk and its Management. This will look at gaining a better understanding of the importance of price risk management, taking the steps to develop a strategy to meet the needs and objectives of the business.
HGCA Sector Director Rebecca Geraghty said: “This half-day event begins with an independent view of the grain and oilseed market outlook to help growers identify the key drivers for the coming season and to give an insight into what to watch for. This will be followed by an interactive group workshop to help farmers learn more about managing volatility to meet their business needs.”
The half-day event takes place in Warwickshire, South West, Borders, Aberdeen, Newmarket, Andover, Newark and York, click here for more.
