In one of the most important agricultural discussions of the year, we attend the Institute of Agricultural Management Conference, where some of the biggest names in UK farming share their views on the future of the industry.

This comes at a pivotal moment, with Velcourt recently announcing they are serving notice on certain land, signalling a major strategic shift in response to rising input costs, profitability pressures, and a rapidly changing agricultural landscape.

We sit down with:

• Nick Shorter — CEO of Velcourt Farms

• Will Gemmill — Ceres Rural (formerly Strutt & Parker)

• Richard Price — Chair of the Institute of Agricultural Management

Together, they unpack the future of UK farming, the business model challenges ahead, long-term confidence in the sector, land consolidation, and what farmers should expect as we head toward 2026 and beyond.

This episode offers one of the clearest insights yet into how leading businesses are repositioning themselves for a profitable future — and what this means for farmers right across the UK.

Comment below: What do you think the biggest challenge will be for UK agriculture over the next five years?
