A former chairman of Stewartry Young Farmers has become the first recipient of a prestigious new prize created by Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC).
John McCulloch was presented with the inaugural Fordyce Maxwell Award for Agricultural Communications by SRUC principal Professor Wayne Powell at the Royal Highland Show last week.
John, 24, a trainee auctioneer at Wallets Mart and the current Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs (SAYFC) agricultural and rural affairs committee chairman, was “overwhelmed and honoured” to receive the accolade.
