Judging
UGS judges will visit shortlisted farms during the summer to assess the grassland-based businesses and winners within farming sectors, as well as the overall UGS grassland farmer of the year, will be announced at the society’s AGM in January.
The overall winner then goes forward to represent NI as a finalist in the British Grassland Society’s grassland farmer competition.
Co Down sheep farmer John Martin won the UGS competition in 2018 and Fermanagh beef and sheep farmer and Irish Farmers Journal contributor John Egerton was the winner in 2017.
