This week, the Ulster Farmers’ Union officially launched the 2013 Cereal Competition. The annual cereals competition which is held each year is a great opportunity for leading cereal growers across Northern Ireland to show case their talent and celebrate the excellence that’s within the cereals industry.
UFU Seeds and Cereals Chairman John Best Said; “We are very pleased to be running the 2013 Annual Cereals Competition this year again. Northern Ireland has a very reputable cereals industry, which produces high quality cereals that are equal to the best across the British Isles. The growers who enter the competition have wealth of expertise, which deserves to be recognised and this is evident in high standard of entries we receive every year.
“We are also delighted to be working with our competition sponsors Bayer Crop Science; Clarendon Agri-Care; Joseph Morton Ltd; ORIGIN NI and BASF; and Syngenta. The sponsors’ continued commitment to the cereals industry is evident in their valued support of this competition and we are delighted to have them on board.”
The categories for the 2013 Cereals Competition include: Winter Barley (sponsored by ORIGIN NI and BASF); Oats (sponsored by Clarendon Agri-care and Bayer Crop Science); Winter Wheat (sponsored by Joseph Morton and Bayer Crop Science); and Spring Barley (sponsored by Syngenta).
The competition is open to UFU members across Northern Ireland and those interested in entering should contact their local UFU Group Office as soon as possible.
