Our Friends

The Agricultural Law Association (ALA) is the UK’s largest inter-professional organisation devoted to the law and business of the countryside. We focus on the law in a non-partisan, apolitical way in order to promote its knowledge, understanding and development among those who advise rural businesses.

The Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (CAAV) is a specialist professional body representing, qualifying and briefing almost 3000 members practising in a diverse range of agricultural and rural work throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

CAAV members are agricultural and rural valuers who provide professional advice and valuation expertise on issues affecting the countryside. These can cover many topics, such as tenancy matters, sales and purchase of farms and land, taxation, compulsory purchase of land and property, auctioneering, conservation issues and farming business advice.

The CLA is the only organisation solely dedicated to the protection of land and property rights and promoting the interests of the wider rural economy. Our members own and manage around half the rural land in England and Wales and more than 250 different types of businesses. We help our members make the most of their land, property and businesses which are valuable assets. Membership provides influence, exclusive knowledge and advice, and important connections and services. CLA is pleased to support “Grow your Future” as the profession of rural surveying is vital to our landowning members. 

The Livestock Auctioneers' Association (LAA) is the national organisation representing auctioneering firms that occupy and run the livestock auction markets of England and Wales. Its members handle the vast majority of all auction sales of farm livestock and, in addition, most member firms conduct non livestock sales, such as agricultural, farm, contractor's plant and machinery, vehicles, horticultural goods, furniture and fine arts, land and property.

Today, the NFU is the most successful representation body for agriculture and horticulture with members covering two-thirds of the agricultural land in England and Wales. You can rest assured that the NFU will continue to be champions of British agriculture with the same conviction and passion we have shown during the last century.

Whether you’re a grower, farm livestock or have a mixed holding, we’re here for you. Support your industry, protect your future.
