Women in farming webinar series to launch in NI
15 March 2021 |
More women are managing farm businesses in Northern Ireland, the UFU says
A webinar series will launch in April dedicated to recognising and celebrating women s contribution to the farming industry in Northern Ireland.
The Ulster Farmers Union (UFU) first launched its first Women in Agriculture conference in 2019 to recognise the role of women in farming.
As a physical event cannot be held this year due to the pandemic, the union has adapted plans for virtual events on 14, 21 and 28 April.
The virtual events will be led by BBC Farming Matters presenter Nicola Weir, with guest speakers including Veronica Morris of Rural Support, Norma Rowan of Embrace and Michelle Shirlow of Food NI.
Comments by the tánaiste that no one in the Sinn Féin parliamentary party is a Protestant have been called “disingenuous” and “disappointing” by a Sinn Féin-backed unionist candidate for the Seanad.

There are plenty of tillage webinars taking place this week to tune into from the tractor
The coming week will be an action-packed one for tillage webinars. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began nearly a year ago, conference organisers have had to adapt considerably.
As a result, growers are now spoilt for choice when it comes to tillage conferences. As spring kicks into gear this week, there are multiple online conferences taking place which will be worth tuning into.
Below is a rundown of the main conferences taking place this week:
