Farming Today - A Different Approach

The Test Valley Group of the CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England) is hosting its annual lecture in Longstock Village Hall on Friday 7th March commencing at 7.30pm. The Mayor of Test Valley, Councillor Pam Mutton and her Consort will be there as guests of honour.

The speaker this year is a farmer, Simon Preece, who combines humour and passion in talking about farming, animal welfare and the environment. His talk is entitled 'Traditional Farming in a Modern World' or as he would say "a funny way to make a living". As well as offering insights into the work of a dedicated farmer he has a wealth of fascinating tales about everyday life on the farm.
