Get in the running for Grassland Farmer of the Year awards

The British Farming Awards Grassland Farmer of the Year and the British Grassland Society’s Grassland Farmer of the Year recognises the dedication and skill of attaining profitable and sustainable livestock production.

So, if you’re mastering grass measurement, improving yield and driving forage efficiency, put yourself forward for the award and share your story. Or show support for another standout dairy, beef or sheep farmer who deserves a nomination.
