Celebrating Farming in Lincolnshire

In 1904 the seeds were sown for a farming union in Lincolnshire that pre-dated the establishment of the NFU by four years. Five Lincolnshire farmers established the group at Harmston to improve farming and the whole country following the Boer War. Four years later the National Farming Union was formed and the Lincolnshire Farming Union was one of the organisation’s early members.
Farming may be unrecognisable as a profession 120 years on, but the mutual support and friendship across the industry remains just as strong. A ball at the Lincolnshire Showground’s EPIC Centre organised by NFU County Advisors Rhonda Thompson and Gabriella Gregory was attended by over 320 people with proceeds donated to the Lincs Rural Support Network (LRSN) and Lincolnshire Rural Agricultural Chaplaincy (LRAC). Local food and drink, and dancing to party band The Baltic Donkeys were enjoyed by all, and guests included NFU President Tom Bradshaw. See www.nfuonline.com.
