Jack makes his ‘marque’ as quality of his milk wins him an award


DAIRY farmer Mr Jack Turner has left his "marque" on his industry by receiving a district Milk Marque


award. The Langho-based farmer was judged to


have produced the best milk in the Ribble Valley and West Pennine District, beating off a field of more than 300 other candidates. He was one of 89 farmers to have won


similar accolades in England and Wales. They each qualified for the award, having had Milk Marque's "Elite" criteria bestowed upon them last year in recognition of excep­ tional quality produce. And this year's milk was adjudged to have


been even better quality than last year's. Said Milk Marque's managing director, Mr Paul Beswick: "It is a great pleasure to announce such excellent results. They are the result of dedication and commitment by our winning members." Pictured is Mr Turner with his district Milk Marque Award. (290498/22/25)
