There are annual awards in many industries and agriculture is no exception.

The British Farming Awards are back for 2017 and in addition to the traditional core sectors of dairy, beef, sheep, arable and machinery, there is a celebration of other sides to the industry.

New entrants coming into farming, the wealth of diversification businesses and the acknowledgement of an evolving digital presence within the sector are all represented in the categories.
