DEVON'S farmers are being invited to nominate themselves or someone else for the 2023 British Farming Awards.

The British Farming Awards are back for 2023 and are ready to showcase the best and brightest farming talent within the UK's agricultural industry.

Last year, Gordon Davis of Rivermead Dairy, Westcott Farm in Devon won best Dairy Farmer. On winning, Gordon said: 'It feels amazing and I am very humbled. We take a lot of pride in what we do and the whole family are involved right through to our youngest grandchildren who milk and my sons that are involved in the day to day running of the farm. I am proud to be a part of an incredible industry that has only grown through adversity.'

From nurturing the natural environment, to developing technology and innovation, the British Farming Awards celebrates the people at the heart of agriculture.
