Your photos: pink bale fever spreads
We asked, you answered. Farmers Weekly readers have been posting their photos of pink bales to our gallery on FWi.
Farmers have responded with enthusiasm to the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity initiative by wrapping their bales in pink wrap. The Breast Cancer Campaign gets a donation for every roll of wrap sold.
We set up a special Pink Bale Gallery, hoping to see photos of pink bales dotting the fields of the UK and Ireland from our readers and here’s a selection of your photos. Keep them coming!
