Summer laptop campaign - we have a winner!
We have a winner!
Richard Yapp of Lawn Farm, Wem near Shrewsbury entered the NMR Summer Laptop Competition at Dairy Day UK in September, got the answers right and has won! Mr Yapp's family has been milk recording with NMR since the 1930s and is very keen on improvement the management of his 128 cows. He's therefore considering using the Uniform software but was put off as he didn't have a laptop. Well that's all changed now!
Congratulations!
For those of you who missed out - watch this space for news of our Autumn Competition!
