Farm Safety

A dairy farmer’s daughter, Louise worked for Farmers Guardian since 2013 and joined the publication after completing an agriculture degree at Newcastle University.

From Bashall Eaves, Clitheroe, Lancashire, she passed away on July 1, 2016, after a short but incredibly brave battle with a rare form of ovarian cancer.

Organisations and individuals from within the farming community, along with external groups and individuals who knew her, began raising money to help fund pioneering treatment she received at The Christie Hospital in Manchester.

The donations continued and the Louise Hartley Memorial Fund was launched after she died.
