Josh Armstrong, a beef farmer from Maguiresbridge who successfully completed the Beef Production course at the Enniskillen Campus in 2018, said: “I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it. It suited me that it was held in the evenings and close to home and I would thoroughly recommend the course to anyone interested in agriculture and thinking of applying for the Young Farmers’ Payment/Regional Reserve Scheme.”
