September: 16 th UK Dairy Day Hi everyone! Firstly I need to thank everyone for such a great AGRI Forum in Torquay! If you missed it you can catch up on You tube. The feedback I’ve heard so far has been great and please fill out the feedback survey. Unfortunately most of you will have heard we have been unable to secure funding for our membership to CEJA. We have been offered observer status for one year. This means that we can still attend meetings and the experts we have on committees retain their places but we are no longer allowed to vote. As always get hold of me if you think there is anything that we should be discussing at AGRI even better encourage your reps to attend we are still a few short. If they don’t attend to represent you who will? Lynsey

Look out for us around the country at different events over the next few months (more info on www. kuhn. co. uk, www. facebook. com/kuhn. farmmachinery or @kuhn_uk) - there will be grass demonstrations, dealer open days and of course the Cereals Event in June.

Through the scheme, Massey Ferguson will provide two people with the chance to learn new skills and gain valuable industry knowledge, through training, fun and experience. Two Young Farmers (one male and one female) will each be offered the opportunity to become a Home Grown Talent Ambassador. As Ambassadors, the two winning Young Farmers will have a tailored programme created for them by Massey Ferguson. This programme will support them to learn more about the industry and hopefully give them an idea about what they would like to do in the future. Included in this tailor made programme will be a trip to Massey Ferguson’s factory in Beauvais, France, for you and a parent/guardian. Read more about how to apply via our dedicated Home Grown Talent webpage.
