Young inventor 'worms' way to top award

Former Agriculture Minister Ivan Yates announces young agri entrepreneur Nick Cotter as the overall winner at the Better Farming Awards.

The Cotter Brothers, Nick and Jack from Abbeyfeale, Co Limerick, have already picked up an array of awards for their invention, the Cotter Crate, which significantly reduces the labour involved in drenching lambs.
