Britain’s Fittest Farmer was launched by Farmers Weekly in 2018 as a fun way of sparking a vital discussion about the physical and mental health of the nation’s farmers.

 

The competition is designed to encourage farmers to focus on both their physical and mental health, ensuring they are in peak condition to manage and run their farm businesses effectively.

 

Farming can also be an isolating job, which is why it is also vital for farmers to focus on their own mental health and wellbeing so that they can keep their business in tip-top condition too.

 

The search is on to find four individuals who will be crowned Britain’s Fittest Farmers 2025 in each of the four categories: Men under 40, Women under 40, Men over 40 and Women over 40, with the coveted trophy and a £1,000 cash prize for each winner.

 

This year, our first of three qualifiers will take place at Lincolnshire Show on Wednesday 18th June 2025.
