The Weekly Times Coles 2022 Farmer of the Year awards nomination form

We are searching for the best farmers from across Australia to be honoured in The Weekly Times Coles 2022 Farmer of the Year awards.

Welcome to The Weekly Times Coles 2022 Farmer of the Year awards.

We are searching for the best farmers from across Australia, those leading the way, who constantly strive to improve their business and are finding success in their efforts.

So, if you know someone who deserves to be recognised as an outstanding farmer, let us know by nominating them in the form below.

Each week The Weekly Times will feature great stories of farmers excelling in their field, from industry stalwarts to new players starting their agricultural journey.

All farmers who appear in our paper, magazines and online during 2022 are eligible to win one of six categories:

● BEEF FARMER OF THE YEAR

● CROPPING FARMER OF THE YEAR

● DAIRY FARMER OF THE YEAR

● HORTICULTURE FARMER OF THE YEAR

● SHEEP FARMER OF THE YEAR

● INNOVATIVE FARMER OF THE YEAR

From the winners of these six categories, one farmer will ultimately be crowned The Weekly Times Coles 2022 Farmer of the Year.

Each category winner will receive $5000 in cash, with the Farmer of the Year receiving a further $10,000.

Winners will be announced in February and profiled in our special Farmer of the Year magazine.

Last year’s winner Marc Greening of Injemira Beef Genetics runs one of the nation’s most well known and successful Hereford studs, as well as a lucrative grass-finishing operation, turning off up to 3000 steers and heifers a year that he buys as weaners from his own clients.
