Articulating Agriculture Contest Deadline Tomorrow!

AGCO’s blog contest ends tomorrow but you still have time to enter! Never milked a cow or plowed a field? No worries! See the story below about Miss UK visiting a cattle farm. Maybe you could write a blog documenting your first visit to a farm and how it changed your perception of agriculture.

“A Perthshire beef farmer had some unexpected glamour added to his working day when Miss UK, Katharine Brown paid him a visit ahead of her three week trip to China for Miss International.

Miss Brown, who was also crowned Miss Scotland in 2009/10, visited the farm in her role as Healthy Eating Ambassador for Quality Meat Scotland (QMS).

She said she was keen to improve her understanding of Scotch Beef production – and Norman Taylor, who farms with his wife Ann, at West Busby near Methven in Perthshire was more than happy to assist!

A farm tour included an explanation of cattle management, including feeding and breeding, and the skills required when cows are calving to ensure the newborns get the best start in life.” Source: Perthshire farmer gets surprise visit from Miss UK | News | Farmers Guardian
