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.

Alongside farming’s core sectors - dairy, beef, sheep and machinery - there is also a celebration of talented youngsters coming into the industry.

When at Bury St Edmunds market one day the auctioneer failed to turn up so he offered his services - the very first time he had ever auctioned.
His widow Ann Reeve said he was a natural auctioneer and he was ‘hooked’ thus carried on auctioneering in Bury St Edmunds and other local auctions for many years.
He then started to auction at Methwold, near Thetford, and later purchased the business in the 1970s.
