The North Fermanagh Group would like to extend sincere congratulations to Raymond Johnston on winning the silage bale competition, and to Gordon Elliott for taking top place in the dairy section.

Both awards reflect the hard work, dedication, and high standards shown by our members throughout the year, and we are delighted to recognise their achievements.

At the beginning of the year, we were pleased to welcome David Wright, editor of the IFJ, who kindly attended and spoke at this year’s AGM. His insight and experience were greatly appreciated by everyone present, and we would like to thank him for taking the time to join us and contribute to a very successful evening.

We would also like to congratulate all members who have recently taken on new roles within the group. We wish them every success and enjoyment in their positions over the next two years and look forward to working together to continue strengthening the North Fermanagh group and supporting our local farming community.

Looking ahead, the Fermanagh group is organising an exciting trip to North Wales and Chester this September. The trip will include visits to a few farms and agricultural businesses, providing members with an opportunity to learn, share ideas, and enjoy a social outing together. The trip will involve an overnight stay and will cost £200 per person, which includes transfers, boat travel, hotel accommodation, and breakfast.

Places are expected to fill quickly, so anyone interested is encouraged to contact the Enniskillen office for further information or to reserve a place.
