Arable and Horticulture Producers at the show

Brexit has been the hot topic on all recent UFU arable and horticulture committee agendas and after much discussion the growers agreed that whilst the future is unknown they also believe many opportunities will emerge for efficient productive arable and horticulture producers.

The growers will be at RUAS Balmoral 2017, Northern Ireland’s largest farming agricultural show exhibiting their produce and meeting consumers, retailers, and politicians taking every opportunity to engage and share why the future of NI Arable and Horticulture sectors play an important role for the Northern Ireland economy and the environment going forward.

UFU will be represented on the following stands:

l Mighty Spud Marquee – Healthy Horticulture area (Stand no. HH19)
