Western Australian grain grower Duncan Young has taken out the top gong for the industry at The Weekly Times Coles Farmer of the Year Awards on Friday night.
The Beverley grower was initially surprised to be nominated for the award and told Countryman he was "quite shocked" to have won.
“I love the innovation and the fact we are taking large jumps fairly quickly,” he said.
“I think it is that factor that you are always learning . . . there is never a dull day, there is always something new to learn.
“When you love your job, it makes it an easy decision to keep doing it.”
Beyond the farm, Mr Young has a long history of grower advocacy and is on the board of both Grain Producers Australia and WAFarmers.
