Charlie Whitmarsh, crop production director for Frontier Agriculture, presented Mr Watson with his award and said: "Congratulations to Shaun on this award. A common theme among the finalists this year was the work they are doing to create a sustainable farm business through expertise and relationship building. We were particularly impressed by this with Shaun and by his enthusiasm and energy.”
