Farmers Weekly together with its industry sponsors, which span the whole of the food chain, want British farmers to get the recognition they deserve. These awards aim to showcase the best farmers in the country. And by telling their stories we can spread best practice, inspire others and influence the public about the role that farmers play in today’s society. The names of the winners will be revealed at the Awards Night on Thursday 8 October in the London Grosvenor House Hotel.
