UFU recognises top cereal growers of 2013

This week the Ulster Farmers’ Unions along with the sponsors of the UFU Cereals Competition hosted their annual Awards Ceremony in the Rosspark Hotel, Kells which paid recognition to the first class growers here in Northern Ireland.  Winners of the Winter Wheat, Winter Barley, Spring Barley and Oats categories joined UFU Deputy President Barclay Bell and representatives from the competition sponsors to celebrate the competitions success.

The UFU would like to take this opportunity to thank the competition sponsors BASF, Bayer CropScience, Clarendon Agri-care, Joseph Morton Ltd, Origin NI and Syngenta who not only supports and promotes the UFU’s cereals competition but also gives up their time to travel around the Province to assist in the judging of the competition.

The Union would also like to congratulate all the winners for their hard work and efforts, commend the UFU Seeds and Cereals committee for their dedication and hard work in organising the competition, and also thank the UFU Group Secretaries for their continued dedication in encouraging Union members to participate in the competitions.
