Ben Briggs, editor of Farmers Guardian, said: "With so much change and uncertainty characterising the current era of agriculture, the British Farming Awards are a timely celebration of the innovation and skill at the heart of the farming industry.
"Whether it is about boosting the profile of your business, acknowledging the hard work of your staff, or celebrating great on-farm ideas, the British Farming Awards provides an unrivalled platform to shout about our fantastic farming industry."
Andrew Thornber, Trading Director at Morrisons said: "Morrisons is the single biggest supermarket customer for British farmers, so we are proud to support the British Farming Awards. Our business model is based on buying direct from British farmers wherever possible and we believe this approach strengthens British agriculture and supports farming communities."
