Celebrating Excellence in Queensland Agriculture
AgForce is proud to announce that nominations are now open for the 2025 AgForce Producer of the Year Award — honouring an AgForce member who exemplifies our organisation’s values and demonstrates an enduring commitment to Queensland’s agricultural industry.
The AgForce Producer of the Year Award recognises members who personify excellence, commitment, integrity, courage, respect, and inclusiveness through their leadership, innovation, and contribution to Queensland’s broadacre industries of cattle, grain, cane, sheep, wool, and goats.
This prestigious award celebrates those who go above and beyond to strengthen the future of Queensland agriculture and who inspire others through their example.
Eligibility and Criteria
To be eligible, nominees must be current AgForce members. Nominations can be made by or for a member (AgForce Board members are ineligible).
The award acknowledges a member who has made a significant contribution to the agricultural industry across three key areas:
Industry Excellence
Passionate Leadership
Community Focus
All nominations must be submitted using the official AgForce Nomination Form, which outlines each of AgForce’s values and the criteria for assessment.
Each nomination should include a clear justification for why the nominee deserves recognition — describing their actions, achievements, and contribution to the industry.
Nomination Process
Nominations open: Friday, 10 October 2025
Nominations close: Friday, 31 October 2025
Award announced: Tuesday, 18 November 2025 at the AgForce AGM Dinner, Blackall
