Enterprising Yorkshire farmers could be rewarded for their innovations by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society.

The annual Farming Enterprise Awards, run by the Society, have two new categories for 2003 - Enterprise Awards and Farming Inventions. Farmers can enter ventures like farm shops for the Enterprise Awards. The Farming Inventions category showcases new gadgets or ideas that make farm work easier.

Prizes will be awarded by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society president at the Great Yorkshire Show in July.

The closing date for entries is May 23. Phone Christine Johnson for an entry form on 01423 541000, or at christinej@yas.co.uk.
