[Tendrils June 2011} Following the success of last year’s inaugural Biosecurity Farmer of the Year award, Animal Health Australia and Plant Health Australia are proud to again sponsor this prestigious prize. The Biosecurity Farmer of the Year Award recognises farmers who are focused on the biosecurity of their farming enterprise - someone who demonstrates initiative and motivation to address the potential risks to their business and livelihood from diseases, pests and weeds. The Australian Farmer of the Year Awards will be held in September. Nominations are now open. To download the form or find out more about the awards visit the Farm Biosecurity website.
