2025 Northern Farmer Awards Celebration
It was a real pleasure to welcome 120 farmers, suppliers and colleagues to Wetherby for our 2025 Northern Farmer Awards, a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our northern pig farming network over the past year.
We recognised this year’s award winners for their outstanding results across both finishing and breeding farms, and shared valuable industry insight from our guest speakers, including:
Charlie Baker, Quality Equipment; Quality Equipment – Through the Years
Craig Lewis, PIC; Genetics: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Ingrid Potter MSc, MSD; From Stress to Success
Kate White, Farming Community Network Rural Mental Health Support
A huge thank you to all our farmers for going above and beyond every day – your commitment, care and consistently high standards give us so much to be proud of.
And a special congratulations to Rob Rhodes, our Northern Farmer of the Year. Rob has worked with Pilgrim’s Europe since 2015 and continues to demonstrate the very best qualities of a pig producer.
Thanks again to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a positive celebration of our farming family.
