for agricultural society
Run by farmers for farmers, the Gloucestershire Root Fruit and Grain (GRFG) Society was founded in 1863, so is now in its 158th year.
The Society’s ambitions and activities are very much in step with Lodders and our work in the agricultural sector, and in 2021 the firm further endorsed this central element of its specialist expertise by becoming a Gold Level sponsor of the GRFG.
In 2020, Hartpury University and Hartpury College became the Society’s principle sponsor, representing the crystallisation of GRFG’s work in cultivating strong links between the next generation of young farmers and ambitious, progressive Gloucestershire farm businesses.
James Spreckley Head of Lodders’ Agriculture practice Gloucestershire farmers and farming businesses can find out more about the benefits of membership and how to get involved: www.grfgs.com
