Young Farmer of the Year
Being creative, innovative and forward thinking are strong qualities in Young Farmers and this category aims to recognise and reward those, under 26, who have achieved positive results from new ideas and changes. This can be anything from new ways to increase productivity, diversification or making a positive impact on their local community. It is the next generation who will shape our future in farming.
