A NEW date has been set for the inaugural Cumbria Farmer Awards.
It had been planned to hold the much-anticipated event in the spring, but Covid-19 has led to the decision to move the event to a new date this autumn.
Entries for the 12 categories will now be reopened until May 4.
Alongside farming’s core sectors - dairy, beef, sheep and machinery - there is also a celebration of talented youngsters coming into the industry.
The search to find the county’s farming unsung heroes is organised by Newsquest Cumbria in partnership with Carlisle-based business advisers and accountants Armstrong Watson.
