Entries are sought from the South Hams for the National Women in Agriculture Awards 2026.

The categories are: Agricultural Adviser of the Year, Agricultural Ambassador of the Year, Business of the Year, Farming Woman of the Year, Innovator of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award, Agicutural Influencer of the Year, Agricultural Machinery Engineer of the Year, Rising Star of the Year, Supply Chain Woman of the Year, Sustainability Champion of the Year and Training a nd Education Woman of the Year.
