Celebrate the most talented and dynamic farmers in Wales!

60 of the country’s most innovative farmers made the cut when we announced the 2023 finalists for the British Farming Awards in August.

Showcasing their exemplary practice, these UK farmers are battling it out across the 18 categories up for grabs at this year’s British Farming Awards, which highlight the exciting and pioneering work being carried out across UK agriculture.

Sponsored by Morrisons, alongside farming’s core sectors including dairy, beef, sheep and arable there is also a celebration of new entrants coming into the industry, a wealth of diversification businesses, families across multiple generations and social media influencers.

The awards also highlight some of the most sophisticated technology leading to some of the industry’s most exciting initiatives in food production and management.
