Two Young Farmers are preparing to travel around Britain by
tractor to promote the organisation's 75th anniversary year.
Dan Halliday and Bryce Mackellar, both
National Federation of Young
Farmers' Clubs vice-chairmen of council, will set off on their
New Holland T7040 Tractor on 27 June.
They are planning to travel to the most Eastern, Northern,
Western (Wales) and Southern points of England and Wales, after
departing from the
New Holland Tractor Plant in Basildon, Essex.
Their journey will finish at Stoneleigh, Warks in time for the
Royal Show. Details of
the attempt will be publicised at
Cereals 2007 which starts on Wednesday (13 June).
The tractor will be run on B100 biofuel, which has been donated
by Petrochem Carless
Limited.
The aim is to up the profile of YFC and raise money for the
Royal Agricultural Benevolent
Institution.
