INNOVATIVE and dedicated farmers reaped their rewards during the fifth annual Northern Farmer Awards.
A glamorous ceremony was enjoyed by hundreds of leading agricultural industry professionals attending the event from across the North of England, including ten exceptional finalists, sponsored by Mole Country Stores.
The prize-giving, which was hosted by the Pavilions of Harrogate, at the Great Yorkshire Showground, saw the overall Northern Farmer of the Year Award go to Denys Fell, of Densholme Community Care Farm, in Hull.
Judges were impressed by Mr Fell’s approach to bringing vulnerable members of the community to his land to enrich their lives with the countryside.
- A full-round up of The Northern Farmer Awards 2018 will be published in Saturday’s edition of The Northern Echo and the next edition of The Northern Farmer.
