RYEDALE farmers are being urged to enter a prestigious farming and conservation competition. Run by the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group and Farmscare, the Silver Lapwing Award is awarded to farms which show the best environmental improvements.
Philip Lythe of FWAG North Yorkshire, said: "Good farmers have always worked in sympathy with the land and invested in the future of their farms. The public, supermarkets and the rest of the food industry are quite properly insisting on the highest standards and we believe that today no farmer can afford to ignore the envirionment."
Entries have to be to be submitted by February 25.
