The finalists for the Young British Farming Awards 2025 have been announced.
Sponsored by Massey Feeds, Harpers Feeds and Lantra, with support from Brooksby College, these awards highlight the achievements of the next generation of agricultural innovators.
This year, the awards feature eight categories, including four new ones.
The categories are Young Farm Worker, Young Handler Junior, Young Handler Senior, Young Farming Hero, Young Farmers Club, Young Farmers Club Community Hero, Young Farmers Club Leader and The Kaleb Cooper New Entrant of the Year.
Winners will be selected by a panel of industry experts.
The awards ceremony will be held at Cannon Hall Farm, the home of the 2023 British Farming Awards Content Creator of the Year.
The event will be hosted by Tom Pemberton, a well-known farmer and content creator.
Among the finalists is 11-year-old Elliw Grug Davies from Ceredigion, who will compete in the Young Handler of the Year (Senior) category.
Elliw, who was named Junior Young Handler of the Year in 2024, has gained numerous awards over the past year for her handling skills and her cattle.
This includes winning the Intermediate Beef Championship, Young Handler Champion, and Overall Cattle Handling Champion at the Royal Devon County Show.
Her skills have led other cattle owners to request her services in the ring.
However, her school commitments and livestock remain her priorities.
The Young British Farming Awards aim to inspire the continued growth and development of the British farming industry for generations to come, recognising the contributions of young farmers like Elliw.
