A talk on farming due to take place in North Yorkshire later this month, is said to be of interest to all - whether farmers or not.

'Let's Talk Farming' will be introduced by local farmer, John Dawson, whose talk is entitled 'the farming story'. Stephen Dew, of the Skipton office of the NFU, will talk of 'challenges ahead'; while there will also be a talk on 'our future farmers' by Settle and District Young Farmers.
