The NSW Farmer of the Year Award is designed to recognise excellence in farming within NSW. Nominations are now open and close on 26th September.
A joint initiative by NSW Farmers and NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI), and supported by The Land newspaper and WorkCover NSW, the awards have a particular focus on acknowledging farmers who combine safe, environmentally sustainable practices with profitable production. To further develop and improve their farming enterprise all finalists will also be invited to form part of the NSW Farmer professional network.
The successful ‘Farmer of the Year’ will be awarded $10,000 and the other finalists will each receive $2,000.
The NSW Farmer of the Year is open to farmers in NSW. Both men and women are encouraged to apply. NSW DPI, NSW Farmers, WorkCover NSW and Rural Press staff are not eligible to apply.
