Farmer is rewarded for long service record
A farmer who has worked with the same family for almost four decades has been recognised for his dedication.
Donald W.J. Maguire, of Lowick, began working in agriculture 37 years ago when he left school.
He joined the Colgan family in 1978 at their farm in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, moving to Lowick Hall Farm in Northumberland with his family when the Colgans bought it in 2002.
