‘The Greatest Online Agricultural Show!’ launched

Speaking to Farmers Guardian, he said: “Following a couple of local show cancellations, it crossed my mind that an online show could be organised as a way of connecting people regardless of the virus.

“It has blown up bigger than I expected which demonstrates the appetite among the community for some kind of agricultural event.

“Plans are to build a website over the next month which will have different areas for competitions.

“The overall aim is to make the classes simple and a bit of free fun for all the family to get involved with."

The first social media competition asked children aged up to 16 to design a ’bright bold logo for the show’ and was judged by Oxford Farming Conference’s ’Emerging Leaders Group 2019’.

And the winner of the children’s logo competiton is....

Tilly Aged 12.

The judges loved the artwork, the bold and clear images and felt that your logo would be just right for the show. Thank you!!

We are sorting out prizes and will confirm these shortly.#GreatestAgShow pic.twitter.com/2akLqU7fqt
