AICC Conference 2026 - Another Triumph

20 January 2026

By invitation only for its members and guests, held at its long-term venue near Towcester, the 2026 AICC conference brought together agronomists, researchers and policy specialists to explore the major forces that are rapidly reshaping arable production.  

While technical updates remained central, this year’s conference also reflected the growing overlap between agronomy, economics, regulation and long-term business resilience. 

Across several wide ranging and engaging sessions, one message emerged: arable farming is entering a period where volatility is becoming the norm rather than the exception.  

Weather extremes, regulatory uncertainty, evolving pathogen populations and tighter margins are all combining to make decision-making more complex. For AICC members, this creates both a challenge and an opportunity.  

The organisation’s nationwide network of independent agronomists acts not only as a source of crop advice to individual clients, but as an early-warning system for emerging threats and a practical bridge between science and farm-level decision-making.
