RPA will be attending many agricultural shows throughout 2025. This gives us the opportunity to have valuable face-to-face contact with a wide range of farmers, landowners and agents to discuss what’s important to you and get your insight and feedback.
So, if you’re there, come and talk to us. We’re keen to discuss any issues or queries, and we’re looking forward to meeting you and getting to know more about you and your farming business.
At some of the shows we’ll be sharing a stand with Defra Farming and Countryside Programme colleagues, offering a one stop shop for Defra.

This is a very significant reduction from previous years, is this an indication that the apparent abandonment of agricultural support is permanent? To be able to chat with your inspectors in a relaxed environment was very helpful in gaining clarity on the myriad of rules and requirements and helped to bring trust between yourselves and your customers.

Thanks for your comment. We'll be adding more dates to the shows and events list as soon as they're confirmed.
We value the opportunity to chat with customers and get your feedback. We hope to see you at one of the shows this year.
