Andrew Rees of Gaulby Lodge Farm, Kings Norton was crowned Young
Farmer of the Year at last night's Farmers Weekly Awards.
At 31-years old, Andrew has transformed a tenanted 150ha dairy
into an innovative and thriving dairy, sheep and arable unit. He's
been ambitious and invested his own money to take this business
forward, but in building profits he hasn't ignored his desire to
take farming and its values to the local community and public
The top winner of the night was John Hoskin from Maiden Castle
Farms in Dorset who was crowned 2010 Farmers Weekly Farmer of the
Year, as well as Beef Farmer of the Year, at the biggest ever
celebration of farming in the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane
London on Thursday 7th October.
