Mackintosh Farms at Longside near Peterhead were the winner of its 2022 Good Farming Practice award, with the Stronachs from Berryleys in reserve.
Entries are now open for the Royal Northern Agricultural Society’s (RNAS) Good Farming Practice Awards.
Supported by Aberdeenshire Council, winners are decided following on-farm visits by a judge who will assess a range of criteria including stock, crops, equipment, environmental management, enterprise and general impression.
In 2022, the winner was Mackintosh Farms at Longside near Peterhead, who will host an open night on Thursday June 8 at Mains of Buthlaw.
Billy Stewart, RNAS president said: “These annual awards are an important cornerstone of our annual calendar of events and play a key role in spotlighting some of the excellent work which takes place across the region.
“We hope that people will be inspired to nominate examples of good farming practice so that they can be celebrated in a way which brings to public attention the wealth and depth of the sector in our area.”
Nominations for the 2023 awards must be submitted by Monday May 8.
