Farming YouTube sensation Olly ‘Blogs’ Harrison (pictured) will again headline the speaker list at the hugely popular Arable Event, which returns for 2025 on 18 June.
Farmer and entrepreneur Olly has a social media reach of more than 350,000, including more than 147,000 on his YouTube channel @OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer, where he shares daily videos which provide a glimpse into the real-world challenges and triumphs of farming. Since he started posting during lockdown, Olly’s videos have been watched more than 77 million times.
He will be speaking at the Arable Event at 2.30p,. The event has established itself in the farming calendar, attracting about 1,500 cereal and crop farmers for a free day out of entertainment, learning and socialising.
This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better and takes place at the established trial plots off Offoxey Road at Weston Under Lizard, near to Junction 3 of the M54. The Arable Event is organised by Wynnstay and Grainlink to provide valuable information to arable farmers ahead of the harvest and drilling season, and will feature machinery demonstrations, informative and entertaining talks, seed trial plots and much more.
Organiser Kelly Dolphin said: “The Arable Event is now firmly fixed in the diaries of farmers across the country, and it will be great to see new faces and old friends at this year’s event. Farming is never an easy occupation and it is often lonely and isolating, so the chance to get off the farm for a day, find out what’s happening in the industry and chat with other farmers over a drink or something to eat is invaluable.
“We are hugely grateful to all our sponsors, who help us make sure this great day out remains free and accessible for everyone.”
The event takes place at Woodlands Farm, which is part of Bradford Estates on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border. It starts at 9am and runs through to 5pm. Tickets are free and advance booking is recommended for faster entrance on the day and to be entered into the prize draw.
