Young Farmers funding call

UUP councillor, Robbie Butler, has called on the Stormont Farming Minister to “give a cast iron pledge that she will not only continue to guarantee funding for Ulster’s Young Farmers’ Clubs, but will seek to increase that cash aid for the benefit of young people who wish to develop their rural careers.”

Councillor Butler issued his challenge to the Minister after the UUP put questions to her in the Stormont Chamber.

Councillor Butler has been a staunch campaigner to ensure that appropriate funding goes to Young Farmers’ Clubs.
