Winners announced for 2002 Agricultural Journalism Awards

This year, the Arable category winner, Crops editor Debbie Beaton, entered an article on prospects for biofuel following only a disappointingly small reduction in excise duty. Debbie is pictured above after receiving her prize from Hydro Agri managing director Doug Shaw.

Freelance Claire Powell won the Livestock category for a report from the Orkney islands on beef production and the UK’s most northerly EU-approved meat complex, which was published in The Scotsman.
