Great Yorkshire Show 2017
TYE TROPHY
WIDENS SCOPE
This year saw the boundary lines for
entries to the Tye Trophy extended
to allow more farms to take part.
» » WITH CONSERVATION AND
environmental impact a
key issue in agriculture,
the Tye Trophy recognises
farms which successfully
combine commercial farming
with sound conservation
practice.
Joining a prestigious list
of winners is Giles Mounsey-
Heysham of Castletown Estate
Office, Rockliffe, Cumbria, who
was presented with his award
on the President’s Lawn.
Woodland conservation
and the innovative ways in
which recipients get Yorkshire
woods and forests into active
sustainable management is
recognised by the John Boddy
Woodlands In to Management
Enterprise Award. This year’s
winner was Jason Richardson
from the Hornby Estate.
Sustainability of a different
kind was rewarded as the
winners of the Children’s
Vegetable Box Competition
were announced. Pupils
from North Rigton Church of
England Primary School took
the top award, with a box
packed full of fresh produce.
And recycling also won
the day for a school whose
imaginative use of recycled
materials gave them a new
bench for their playground.
Entrants to the competition
created models from recycled
materials on the theme The
Food we love from the Farm.
Pupils from Headfield Primary
School at Dewsbury picked
up their plaque for the bench
from YAS Chief Executive
Nigel Pulling – youngsters
from the second winning
school, Hambleton Church
of England Primary School at
Hambleton, Selby, picked up
their well-deserved plaque.
