SMALL proved to be very beautiful for West Rounton farmer Mr Colin Donald and his wife Christine at the Great Yorkshire Show this week.
Their 75-acre Mount Pleasant farm, near Northallerton, beat off the challenge of units ten times as big to clinch the Farm of the Year title.
Their success was one of the highlights of the show which attracted around 120,000 people over the three-days, despite appalling weather in the run-up to the event.
Among some of the attractions was a pageant showing agriculture over the last century through to the present day. It marked the 50th show on the showground as well as the millennium and was presented by Peter Purves, presenter of Crufts.
