This autumn, the annual SAYFC Young Farmers \u2018Bale Art\u2019 competition has reached Scotland\u2019s neighbourhoods in all shapes, sizes and designs! The competition has helped to harvest an eager rural network who have the emphasis of self-health and wellbeing checks at heart. Clubs from far and wide are aiming to engage their local communities, to highlight the significance in cancer awareness across all age ranges.<\/p>\n
Our judges had the envious task of ordering the club\u2019s bale art structures for the final results. The SAYFC competition supported by Galbraith\u2019s saw partner of the firm, Robert Taylor \u2013 joined by Edinburgh Rugby\u2019s Italian prop, Pietro Ceccarelli.<\/p>\n
The East Region\u2019s Strathmore JAC achieved top spot on the podium with their sculptures promoting both\u00a0\u2018Breast Cancer Now<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018Cahonas Scotland<\/a>\u2019<\/a>\u00a0which were positioned on the A94 between Coupar Angus and Meigle. The clever use of bales in their design, to encourage the checking of \u2018ballz\u2019 as well as breasts \u2013 helps to reduce the shyness in our society around self-checks which are encouraged by our National Health Service! Peeblesshire JAC\u2019s original \u2018Train to Recovery\u2019 gained second place which drew attention to the work of MacMillan Cancer Support on the A701 between Leadburn and Howgate. SAYFC would like to thank all property owners for allowing the\u00a0\u2018state of the art\u2019\u00a0<\/em>designs to be positioned on their land, capturing the public eye and raising recognition of various health and cancer charities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This autumn, the annual SAYFC Young Farmers \u2018Bale Art\u2019 competition has reached Scotland\u2019s neighbourhoods in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[152],"tags":[],"venue":[],"class_list":["post-169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national"],"yoast_head":"\n

\nLoch Lomond YFC\u2019s daffodil design, noticeable from the Cardross to Helenburgh road, included a colour matching yellow \u2018Fergie\u2019 tractor \u2013 acing them third place in their efforts to showcase their appreciation of Marie Curie Cancer Care.<\/p>\n
