Omnia Digital Farming Award

A word from our award sponsor: Hutchinsons

We hope that in widening the scope and subject of the Omnia award to embrace the wider use of digital technologies it will encourage entries from a broad range of journalists across the sectors, as farm business efficiency and profitability become increasingly scrutinised.

We recognise the vital role Guild members play in educating and helping farmers meet these challenges and look forward to supporting them through the Omnia Digital Farming Award.

Nick Rainsley, Head of Marketing, Hutchinsons
