The UFU attend the Balmoral Show which took place 22 – 25 September at the Eikon Exhibition Centre.
UFU president Victor Chestnutt said, “We would like to express huge thanks to the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society for all their efforts in organising the Balmoral Show. It is one of Northern Ireland’s most anticipated events, both for farming families and the general public. The UFU officer bearer team participated in a range of meetings throughout the event and enjoyed talking to members addressing their questions and queries."
