The winners of the 2022 British Farming Awards, which celebrated its milestone 10th anniversary this year, have been announced.
Over 800 farmers and industry specialists gathered to celebrate the winners at The Vox in Birmingham on Thursday (October 20).
“The British Farming Awards are a welcome reminder of the dedication and hard work demonstrated by UK farmers all year round," said Sophie Throup from Morrisons, sponsors of the event.
One of this year's winners is agri-influencer Tom Pemberton, who took home the title of 'Farming Hero'.
Tom is a young farmer who creates YouTube videos depicting his daily life. His success has led to him presenting the BBC 3 show The Fast and the Farmer-ish, and writing his own book.
Also taking a notable award was Phil Stocker, National Sheep Association (NSA) chief executive, who was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to British Agriculture award.
On receiving the award, Stocker said he was incredibly grateful and humbled to win.
"Agriculture is one of the best and most fundamental industries in the world, producing food and looking after the countryside and the wider environment, and sheep farming is central to a growing interest in sustainable farming where we integrate the protection and enhancement of our natural environment with producing food and fibre," he said.
"I also want to say that, while this award may have my name on it, there are a lot of people – colleagues and family - who are also responsible and who have given me huge support throughout my career," he said.
The full list of the 2022 winners, excluding the above mentioned, is as follows:
