“Winning the Farmer’s Weekly Poultry Farmer of the Year 2024 was a great honour. We had an incredible night in London celebrating the best of British farming. I highly encourage other farmers to enter. It’s a unique opportunity to showcase your achievements and gain well-deserved recognition within the industry. Whether you win or not, the entire experience is both inspiring and uplifting for anyone passionate about farming.”

Chris Wright, Poultry Farmer of the Year 2024

“I have wanted to win a Farmers Weekly award for the past 20 years, especially as a woman in the male-dominated farming industry. I knew I needed to get the business to its peak to be in with a chance of winning, but also offer something different to anything else out there. Never one to shy away from being bold, I believe that’s what won me Farmers Weekly Diversification Farmer of the Year 2024.”

Annabel Makin-Jones, Diversification Farmer of the Year 2024

“For our business to be recognised with this award from a cohort of exceptional finalists across all farming enterprises is both exciting and humbling. 

“This brings a new level of exposure and connection for us to others within business and across industry to help take us faster and further down the road to a sustainable future.”

Helen and David Brass, Environmental Champion of the Year 2024

“Hearing my name being called out as the winner was unbelievable and something I will cherish for years to come. It has only just started to sink in and was a fantastic ending to my academic studies”

Logan Williams, Agricultural Student of the Year 2024
