Alan Boyd, United Feeds and Lucy Mitchell, UFU launching the 32nd silage competition.
The Ulster Farmers’ Union and United Feeds have officially launched its 32nd annual silage competition and are encouraging entries from all members across Northern Ireland. The competition celebrates those that are producing silage to exceptional levels, while also supporting members to improve year on year.
There are four main categories you can enter:
- Big bale
- Dairy
- Beef/sheep
- Alternative forage
The silage competition also a newcomer award which is open to all new members entering the competition for the first time and for members who have not entered in the past three years.
The silage competition is a highlight in the UFU calendar and member participation continues to be exceptional. Producing high-quality silage has always been an important part of farming in NI as farmers rely heavily on their ability to grow forage for livestock, even more so now with increasing input costs.
To enter, please contact your local group office for more details or register your interest online at www.ufuni.org (events tab). Deadline for entries is Friday 20 December 2024.
