Young Farmer of the Year

Sponsored by Massey Ferguson

James Price, Oxfordshire

• This ambitious and business astute young grower has expanded his interests and grown margins year on year with his father through arable, composting and precision farming. Diversification has been a significant part of his success

Edward Clark, Buckinghamshire

• The core of this business is combinable crops with a successful suckler herd and beef finishing unit, which allows labour to be used throughout the year. The 34-year-old manages 400ha (990 acres) of which half is owned and the rest tenanted and contract farmed

Tom Rawson, Yorkshire

• Tom Rawson and his wife Catherine run a 300-cow diary business called Clever Cow Organics and have started a herd advisory service, which is opening up all sorts of interesting opportunities for the future.
