Morris appointed Rural Support chief
Veronica Morris has been appointed chief executive of Cookstown-based charity Rural Support.
She takes over from Dr Jude McCann, who became chief executive of the Farming Community Network in England last October.
Rural Support operates a helpline to provide support services to NI farmers and their families. The charity also co-ordinates social farming in NI.
Morris previously worked as director of fundraising at Charis Cancer Care Ltd and was director of external relations at Ulster Orchestra when the organisation was restructured amid a funding shortage.
Slurry export deadline approaches
The deadline for submitting records of slurry exports for the 2019 calendar year is midnight on Friday 31 January.
The information must be submitted to the NI Environment Agency using DAERA online services.
Records need to include the type and quantity of slurry, the transporter’s name and address, and the importing farmer’s name and business ID.
Submitting the records is an important task for any non-derogated farmer that had to export slurry to operate under the 170kg/ha manure nitrogen loading limit last year.
