William Egerton 31 County Fermanagh
Growing up on a progressive sheep and beef farm in Northern Ireland, William has always been open to new ideas and technologies - and it was clear during the ambassador interview process the enthusiasm for the latest advances was a passion of his. Despite much exposure to this, William enjoys learning and is looking to build on his knowledge and experience gained on the programme. He comments: “Many farms are not familiar with the technology available to them and how it could help their farms reach their full potential. I hope I can share my experience as well as learn more about this with my fellow ambassadors and others I meet during the programme.” As well as his family farm experience running 250 ewes, a suckler herd and finishing beef cattle, William has also spent time in Scotland working on larger enterprises and enjoyed the opportunity to view different systems. He now is looking forward to visiting the range of farms explored as part of the ambassador delivery sessions.
