The winners of the 2021 British Farming Awards were announced last week on Thursday, October 21, at an event hosted by TV and radio presenter Vernon Kay.

TV-celebrity Jeremy Clarkson and fellow Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper attended the event, and were honoured for Flying the Flag for British Agriculture.

On acceptance, Clarkson thanked his whole team:

“This is about the whole team. It is for everybody who is involved. There is a great crowd of people on that farm.”

Other notable award winners include National Farmers' Union (NFU) president Minette Batters and Scottish chilli farmer Sheena Horner, who took home a trophy for Farmers Guardian Farming Hero for her work spearheading a running campaign to improve mental health in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic

The run saw 1,200 farmers and industry professionals take part and run just short of 65,000 miles, the equivalent of two and a half times around the world, raising more than £60,000 for five farming charities.

The full list of the 2021 winners is as follows:
