Chris Berry's coverage heavily focuses on local sports, particularly basketball and hockey, in Massachusetts. He also covers farming and agriculture, with a specific emphasis on Yorkshire.
Given his focus on local sports teams and events, Chris may be interested in receiving pitches related to human interest stories about athletes or coaches within the community, upcoming games or tournaments involving local teams, and feature ideas that highlight the intersection of sports and community impact.
For farming and agriculture topics with a connection to Yorkshire as well as general agricultural practices prevalent in Massachusetts could be appealing for Chris. Pitching stories about innovative farming techniques or profiles of successful farmers from these regions could resonate well with him.

They are without doubt one of the most eye-catching cattle breeds at any show and one young farming couple that has only recently taken them on are already making an impression with the quality of their stock, and next Saturday sees the first defence of a title won last year as Champion of Champions at Honley Show.
It’s often taken for granted that a son or daughter will simply follow in a father or mother’s farming footsteps but, arguably, today it appears much less simple.

The Driffield Show is the biggest one-day agricultural show in the UK and this year is celebrating its 150th edition and it will be combining the past and present. Chris Berry reports.
Special celebrations on reaching a milestone, like Driffield Show’s 150th on Wednesday next week (22 July), are to be applauded but probably even more important are the debuts of new livestock exhibitors, breathing fresh life and maintaining shows for the future, and for one young farming couple this year will be their first competing with their Limousin cattle at what is oft vaunted as the UK’s largest one day agricultural show.
Billions are landing in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, aerospace and AI infrastructure. Companies are moving headquarters here, founders are raising big rounds here, and a state now ranked No. 1 for business is building the workforce to match. Capital, deals and jobs from recent weeks.
In good hands for the future. That’s the feeling of Arkengarthdale farmer Doug Barningham, chairman of Reeth Show that takes place on August Bank Holiday Monday 31 August.

Thirty-five years ago, I made my way to Muker Show. It had been my first year of writing about farms, farming families and my first season of covering Yorkshire’s massive agricultural show season. Muker Show wasn’t even on the list of the Yorkshire Federation of Show Societies, but I found a gem.
Everyone born and bred in Yorkshire knows we have the biggest county, but some may not be aware we also have the most breeds of sheep that started here too – Masham, Teeswater, Wensleydale, Swaledale, Dalesbred and another, known as the Penistone Sheep, the Whitefaced Woodland, that takes pride of place next Saturday, 12 September, at Penistone Show.
