Vote for Britain's most wildlife-friendly farmer
The shortlist has been whittled down to an East Anglian grain farmer who grows oats for breakfast cereal while also leaving space for lapwings and skylarks. A midlands farmer who has planted reed beds to absorb fertiliser from the water ways. A south west farmer who manages land to benefit rare flowers and a Scottish couple who have restored peat bog and moorland.
“With the fate of skylarks and brown hares, butterflies and rare plants in their hands, it’s reassuring to know that there are many farmers providing safe havens for some of the country’s most threatened flora and fauna. I look forward to finding out who wins the public vote,” he said.
Jim Paice, the farming minister, said farmers should be celebrated for their hard work to protect the countryside.
“The shortlist for the Nature of Farming Award demonstrates the good work that farmers are doing across the country to improve wildlife on their farms. Farmers know that they play an important role in helping us achieve our ambition for a healthy and vibrant natural environment that we set out in our recently published White Paper. I wish all the finalists well in the competition and hope that other farmers see them as an inspiration of what can be achieved,” he said.
