Wiltshire farmer Henry Edmunds has scooped the top prize in the 2012 RSPB Telegraph Nature of Farming Award. Henry runs a mixed organic farm on the Cholderton Estate with a motto of 'sustainable agriculture in practice'. He is truly an ambassador for a modern farming business, and we heartily congratulate him on winning this year’s Award.
Henry will soon be appearing on this blog to tell you what the Award means to him – in the mean time you can read more about Henry and the Estate's work here.
Many thanks to everyone who voted this year - we had over 17,000 votes in this year's Award, which is a fantastic result for all wildlife-friendly farmers. The vote really helps us fight for a fairer deal for those that care for our countryside.
