“I encourage anyone with an interest in any aspect of the red meat industry to join us on 2 February. Hear about the fantastic work going on in our sector – often behind the scenes – and share in the successes of our finalists and winners.

“Our sector has a great story and the Awards Dinner will give us an opportunity to tell it and disseminate it further.”

The Award categories are: AgResearch Emerging Achiever Award, Rabobank People Development Award, Alliance Significant Contribution Award, FMG Rural Champion Award, Ballance Agri-Nutrients Science and Research Award, Datamars Livestock Technology Award, Gallagher Innovation Farming Award and Silver Fern Farms Market Leader Award.
