Join in with comments and questions using the hashtag #YPCWC21 - host broadcaster Harry Gratian will put the best of them to our expert guest speakers.

The Conference, a virtual, free to attend online event, will be discussing the challenges and opportunities currently facing farming and the countryside.

Expert panelists will lead the day, which will look at issues affecting farming, wildlife, rural communities and wider countryside issues.

Hosting the first ever Country Week Conference will be broadcaster Harry Gration who said he is looking forward to the event.

“For as long as I can remember, this great paper, the Yorkshire Post, has been the champion of rural matters in Yorkshire. That role has never been more important than today.

“The turbulent events we’ve all endured make the YP’s lead even more significant and this conference will bring together some of the most inspiring people and companies to stimulate a positive idea of what our future can be.”
