Farmers Weekly Awards 2011
Date: 02 November 2011
The Farmers Weekly Awards Night has become the night in the farming calender. It offers everyone in farming - whether you farm directly, provide advice or deliver services - a superb opportunity to celebrate the achievements of British Farming.
This year, Biotal were lucky to have Ian Smith (Technical Specialist - Ruminant Nutrition) nominated in the farm advisor of the year category. What the judges particularly liked about Ian was that he was:
- Highly focused on cow performance
- Enthusiastic, energetic and hard working
- Making a significant impact on the economic viability of dairy herds in his area.
Independent judge Roger Mercer was also full of praise saying that "Ian's hands-on approach to meeting the cows needs first and foremost is having a great impact on his clients' needs and profitability".
Congratulations to Ian for this great achivement.
