HRH meets with Ian Bell and selected Prince’s Countryside Fund partners to discuss fodder shortages.
His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, visited Cockermouth Auction Mart last week. During the day His Royal Highness met some of the Hill Farming Apprentices, and their host farmers, benefiting from funding through The Prince’s Countryside Fund. The next round of funding from The Prince’s Countryside Fund was announced and includes a donation of £10,000 to the Addington Fund.
Fund Director Ian Bell, also had the opportunity raise concerns about the availability of fodder, particularly for upland livestock farms, following the unusually long spell of cold weather before Christmas.
