The Michael Peacock Rising Star Award launches for 2024!
The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS) are excited to launch a new award, celebrating the youth in our agricultural industry, kindly sponsored by Peacock and Binnington in memory of the late Michael Peacock.
The Rising Talent award aims to celebrate and recognise those who are starting their careers in the Agricultural industry and are already excelling. Nominees will be forward thinking; progressive and passionate individuals working within agriculture or allied organisations and will be actively promoting the industry to the next generation or others.
