This autumn, three grower positions on the NFU Sugar Board are up for election. Successful candidates will join the board in March 2022 for a term of three years.

All current sugar beet growers are eligible to stand for election to the board. Growers need not be a member of the NFU. In addition, professional farm managers who manage sugar beet contracts are also eligible to stand for election.
