THE winners of this year's British Farming Awards have been revealed - and a student from Somerset has come out top.

Holly Bonner, from Bridgwater & Taunton College in Somerset, has won the Agricultural Student of the Year award. 

Winners were revealed at an awards night in Birmingham on October 17.  To see a full list of winners, click here. 

Holly, who is from Devon, chose a Level 3 Agricultural Apprenticeship over A-Levels, while working on her family farm and gaining experience in livestock sectors and event catering. She is now pursuing a BSc (Hons) in Agricultural Management at Bridgwater & Taunton College of University Centre Somerset.

The judges found Holly’s commitment to self-growth and pushing herself out of her comfort zone incredibly admirable. 

Holly said: "I feel very overwhelmed and it’s incredibly humbling, the other finalists are amazing, so I was just expecting to come and have a good night. When I applied for this award, my family and all the people I’ve worked for got behind me and then I wanted to win this for them.”
