We are delighted to announce that Barclays are the sponsors of the Keynote Theatre at the first-ever Yorkshire Farming Conference.

The Yorkshire Agricultural Society and Barclays have a longstanding relationship, with the bank having generously supported many other Society initiatives over a number of years, including as long-term sponsors of the Society’s Women In Farming Autumn Gathering.

“Barclays agriculture has been supporting UK farmers and landowners to innovate, learn and grow as businesses, since 1744. Whether you’re an estate owner looking to diversify, or a farmer wanting to invest in new technologies, our expertise, banking services and understanding of UK agriculture could help you make the most of every opportunity. We’ve helped nurture generations of UK farmers with the solutions and support that’s right for them – and will continue to do so for the many agriculture businesses that have chosen to bank with us.

“We welcome the opportunity to support the Yorkshire Farming Conference and are thrilled to be part of such an inspirational event. Your local Barclays Agricultural team will be on hand to offer support and answer any questions you may have, and we look forward to seeing you all there on the day!”

The Keynote Theatre at the Yorkshire Farming Conference features a packed full-day’s programme of inspiring and interesting talks and discussions, starting from 09:30.

These sessions include 7 year Itch: Is UK agriculture more in control since Brexit?, Farm Smarter: Less In, More Out and What You Need to Know: The 2026 Briefing for Farmers, followed by an inspirational address by our 2026 Keynote Speaker.
