Norfolk farmer Poul Hovesen wins Farmer of the Year

We are delighted that Norfolk farmer Poul Hovesen has been awarded Farmer of the Year at the Farmer’s Weekly Awards, which were held on Thursday 2 October.  Poul not only beat some strong competition to win the coveted top award, but also won the accolade of Arable Farmer of the Year for his work at Manor Farm, on the Holkham Estate, part of Salle Farms Company.

The award was presented by Defra secretary Liz Truss at the ceremony on Thursday night before more than 1,200 guests who celebrated the accomplishments of 45 finalists and winners.

Agri-TechE is also proud that Poul is part of our recently announced Stakeholder Group, and that he will be bringing his expertise and advice as one of the speakers for Agri-TechE Week.
