Why It Matters for the Tyre Supply Chain

Large-scale machinery, slurry handling systems and data-enabled tractors remain central to modern farming. Nominations for Manufacturer of the Year and Agri-tech Innovator of the Year underline the demand for lower ground-pressure tyres, on-farm telematics and longer tyre life to reduce soil compaction and operating costs.

Timeline

  • Winners will be revealed at the British Farming Awards ceremony on 17 October 2025 in Birmingham.
