Fermanagh beef and sheep farmer John Egerton has finished runner-up in the British Grassland Society’s (BGS) grassland farm of the year competition.
Having been awarded the grassland farmer of the year title from the Ulster Grassland Society back in January, John was put forward as the sole representative from NI.
Out of the 11 farmers entered in the final, the judges whittled the applicants down to the final three farms, with John up against dairy farmers from England and Wales. The three finalists received a visit from the judging panel in August.

The eventual winner was Richard Rogers from Angelsey, who milks 350 cows on 90ha in a spring-calving system.
