Farmer brothers scoop conservation award

Two dairy farmer brothers from the south of the Island have won an international award.

David and Rob Cooil of Ballagawne Farm in Ballabeg won the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group's Silver Lapwing.

The award is given to farmers who show a commitment to conservation in their commercial business.

They introduced a grass-based dairy system which has helped wildlife flourish and led to the rediscovery of some wildflower species.
